Marcus Brigstocke: Absolute Shower

Award-winning comedian, actor and satirist Marcus Brigstocke returns to The Courtyard this April with his new show Absolute Shower.

Following an acclaimed, sell-out run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, Marcus is taking Absolute Shower on tour, celebrating the personal triumphs, small victories and joyful failures of the past couple of years, while acknowledging it has for many of us been an absolute shower of s***.

During this time a few things have changed. He’s become a father, again, 19 years after becoming a dad for the first time. He’s graduated as a Level 1 Cheese Master. He’s experienced the agonies of bereavement. He’s learned to play the trumpet to a very poor level. He’s made a deep connection with his neighbours; they speak some actual sentences now as well as nodding courteously. He ‘broke through’ on US TV after his and Rachel Parris’ ludicrous Lip Sync Battles exploded online, and even more than ever he feels sure that the right combination of jokes will lead to a change in government.

Absolute Shower is a “blisteringly funny” stand-up show from multi award-winning comedian Marcus Brigstocke.

Marcus Brigstocke: Absolute Shower will be in The Courtyard’s Main House on Friday 28 April at 8pm. To book tickets, or for more information contact the Box Office on 01432 340555 or visit www.courtyard.org.uk.
