“A winning performance from a skilled storyteller.” ★★★★ The Stage
“...an extraordinary piece of work; funny, tragic and poignant, it turns an hour of monologue into an evening of poetic revelation.” ★★★★ Everything Theatre
A mention of this show also popped up in the email I get from Daniel Kitson - an incredibly good storyteller/comedian who was on at the Theatre Royal last winter.
"There is a show on tour at the moment that I saw last year at the Battersea Arts Centre and absolutely bloody loved. It’s by a man called Sean Mahoney and it was one of those things that I was so keen to tell people about. It’s really impressive and funny and moving and fascinating. I really liked it. I had so much time for it in more than a few ways."

The Joke

Theatre Club Post-Show in The London Tavern on the 21st April (Thursday)

Three men are trapped in a joke. But they don’t know how it goes...
This show - some kind of absurdist escape movie - is based on an Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman joke gone wrong and explores our fascination with jokes; their structures, their prejudices and why we tell them in the first place.
Will Adamsdale won the perrier award for comedy, and has had very successful and funny shows at the Edinburgh fringe. Stewart Lee is a big fan of his, and comedy fans will know what a big deal that is! This is the first run of his new show, The Joke.
We'd love to see you there, and for Theatre Club afterwards, come and join us in the bar!
