Gather Your Skeletons - Stand Up Comedy WIP - Rich Spalding - Brighton

Gather Your Skeletons is a stand-up show about bones, work and death.

For the last decade of my life, I’ve sat in a chair for 40 hours every week writing radio adverts and destroying my spine. It wasn’t the dream, but it’s also not a nightmare; and that’s the perfect recipe for the kind of thing you might accidentally end up doing until you die.

What, really, is the point of working hard? In a world obsessed with grinding, hustling and maximising productivity – does any of it actually matter? There must be another way to spend your one miraculous chance at being alive.

This show asks, ‘what is the meaning of life?’ And also ‘what is the best meal deal?’ Which, when you think about it, is essentially the same question.

Host or Publisher Rich Spalding is an award-winning comedian from the midlands.
