Select a performance

From: £21.50

From Rob Newman comes a barnstorming new stand-up show about where we are and where we’re going.

From future cities and philistine film directors to Dorothy Parker’s Multiverse Diaries. Throw in Pythagorean gangsters, intellectual bingo callers and a crazy character called Arlo – and the result is a hilarious tour-de force utterly unlike anything else you will ever see anywhere else!

Winner: Best Scripted Comedy – BBC Audio Drama Awards 2019

Winner: Best Comedy with a live audience – BBC Audio Drama Awards 2019
