After years of touring with Jasper Carrott or with a grand piano, BAFTA-winning Alistair McGowan (The Big Impression) performs solo in Canterbury. No wigs, no make-up, no Ronni Ancona; just amusing musings, great gags and virtuosic voices.
Marvel at his Monty Don, revel in his Rob Rinder, titter at his Titchmarsh, and crease up at his Harry Kane. Find out why we all miss Roger Federer, what musical Roy Hodgson should have been in and what Sir Keir Starmer and Joel Dommett have in common.
McGowan is not political and not trying to put the world to rights, but he is jam-full of piquant observation and comedy ideas – a rare treat! Warning: contains puns.
