Comedy Stand Up
Soho Theatre – Dean Street Age Recommendation: 16+ Running time: 60 minutes
Last night, ten tortoises were massacred in a tombola-related prank gone wrong. So tonight, all members of the Beakington Council… aka YOU… will be hauled before an independent adjudicator… aka ME… to find out what happened.

An interactive comedy whodunnit from the mind of Adam Riches, an absolute (Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning) twonk.

As recently seen on BBC4’s acclaimed Detectorists and Channel 4’s 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown as ‘Sean Bean’.

‘Wonderfully imaginative, completely absurd and meticulously planned.’

Also featuring Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominee and ‘maverick physical comedian’ (Guardian), Ben Target.
