Tony Law: A Lost Show

@ The Old Market
Admn: £15 (£12 conc) + £1 OTD

A mind-changing, comedy-art, laugh-affirming experience you’ll never forget.

Bumhell. ‘The King of post-modern nonsense’ (Telegraph) comedy’s Tone is taking his funniest, most meaningful show to date on tour after selling out his entire run at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe with A Lost Show. Expect accents, observations, shouting, clowning, shadows, shadow puppets, a space bear puppet, music, bad music, falling and white face paint. This show finds the vulnerability in us all.

Tony has appeared on Have I Got News For You, The Alternative Comedy Experience, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Never Mind The Buzzcocks. His radio credits include Arts Club with Will Gompertz (5Live), Tony Law: 21st Century Adventurer, Tony Law’s Surreal Guide To Surreal Comedy, Loose Ends and Infinite Monkey Cage.

Watch him and through laughter - rise, happier. You cry, with laugh. ‘What was that!?’ ‘I loved that’. Then you smile to yourself. ‘Tony, you grande dickhead, you making me thinking while you do ‘up’ voice shouting ’n’ clownsing and then, somehow, through idiocy and your bones of funny - Tone, I know what you mean’.

★★★★ - “Takes post-modern stand-up to a dangerously funny new level”
Guardian

★★★★ - “Law is on fine form this year. The show is a joy and not one that will be forgotten in a hurry”
Ed Fest Mag

★★★★ - “Chaos has rarely been so finely constructed and this much fun”

Everybody Get In Here

@ The Maydays Studio
Admn: £30.00

An improv workshop by The Maydays guest teacher, Jake Cornell.For improvisers who aren’t cis/straight/white, it can be scary and challenging to be yourself in scenes without facets of your personal identity becoming the joke of the scene.

In this workshop, we will focus on how to stay true to yourself and your instincts in scenes while having as much fun as possible. We will work on how to support your teammates in constructive, joyful ways. We will also discuss ways we may unintentionally create dynamics or scenarios that may be problematic or isolating to other players or even the audience.

If you’ve been wanting to be more yourself in your scenes, celebrate and empower diversity and inclusion in your improv, or wanting to be able to have the most fun with ANY player, this is the workshop for you!

£30.00 – Booking essential as this workshop is limited to just 14 improvisers.

The Maydays are super excited to have Jake running a workshop as a guest teacher here in Brighton. Jake Cornell is an actor and comedian based in New York City. He performs every other Tuesday on Harold Night with his team, Promises. His indie team Funky Hard Beats loves each other very much and can be seen performing at UCB and around New York.

Jake is also a member of The Post Harold Movement (poHa). He has been seen in videos for College Humor, Upworthy, and Logotv.com and hosting the game show Finish The Hit on Billboard. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram @jakewcornell or check out www.jakecornell.com

Four Thieves Vinegar

@ Rialto Theatre
Admn: £10

Four Thieves Vinegar is a black comedy about the black death. Set in the dingy depths of Newgate Prison, 1665: the height of the plague. The play finds its four characters - three prisoners and their jailer - in one of the few places currently untouched by the disease rampaging throughout the land. One prisoner, an alchemist, believes he has found a cure for the plague and implores his fellow inmates to help him make it. But to do that they'll need gold, and to get that they'll need to make good use of the only resources at their disposal: sex, wit and lies.
