BANANA CABARET BALHAM COMEDY FESTIVAL

MARCUS BRIGSTOCKE 

“Absolute Shower” – Edinburgh Preview

PICTURED: Marcus Brigstocke

Multi award-winning comedian Marcus brings this blisteringly funny hour of stand-up to Balham Comedy Festival before heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe – ‘Devilishly Funny’ – TheArtsDesk.com. This joyful show celebrates the personal triumphs and small victories of the past couple of years… while acknowledging it has, in so many ways, on so many days, for the most part, been an absolute shower of shit.

Master of satirical comedy, achingly funny over a bewildering range of topics from climate change to religious extremism, immigration to loans companies, compensation culture to women’s magazines, not to mention his own middle class angst, Balham resident Marcus Brigstocke is a major comedy, writing and acting talent. He performs standup nationally to sell out audiences on tour; BBC Radio 4 has become a second home to him; he’s notched up an impressive list  of TV credits; and has trod the boards of the West End to critical acclaim.
