"Will lift the spirits of anyone in attendance." - AYoungishPerspective.co.uk

CHRIS CHOPPING: HOW TO BE A DAD AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Chris Chopping loves being a comedian. Chris Chopping loves being a dad. But Chris Chopping never wanted to write a cutesy, toothless kids-say-the-funniest-things show. But maybe if you write that show against the backdrop of billionaires robbing the world, the rise of facism and a climate crisis that show gets a bit of its bite back? Very much a work in progress. As a comedian and a parent.

This is Chris first solo show since Chris Chopping's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a pithy, witty hour of comedy full of petty insecurities, impotent rage and a certain amount of erudite smut.

Winner – Newbury New Act of the Year

Winner – Bedford New Act of the Year
