Chris Addison

Star of the BAFTA winning comedy The Thick Of It, and his own BBC 2 sitcom Lab Rats, Mr. La-di-da smartypants Addison is also regarded as one of the most versatile stand-ups in the country.

With his pacy, energetic routines and faultless delivery, he has charmed audiences, Perrier judges (who nominated him twice) and critics alike as a top class purveyor of smartarse daftness, whimsy, perspiration, lies, jokes and flapping about.

When he’s not been appearing on Have I Got News For You or starring in Armando Iannucci’s forthcoming feature film In The Loop, he’s spent most of the last couple of years sitting in a shed at the bottom of his garden writing Lab Rats, a couple of books (Cautionary Tales For Grown-Ups and It Wasn’t Me: Why Everyone Else Is To Blame And’re Not) and two series for BBC Radio 4, one of which – (The Ape That Got Lucky) went on to win the Sony Award in 2006.

So this show is a rare opportunity to see him live right there in front of you on a stage, doing talking and that. You should go. You really should.

“The best stand-up I’ve seen.” – The Observer

“He’s brilliant. No question.” – The Times

“Downright hilarious. His stories reduced a packed crowd to tears of helpless laughter.” – The Sun Times

“Superlative, intelligent com” – The Daily Telegraph

“A fantastic show. Flawl” – The Independent
