Ben Goldsmith & Chris East – WIP Double Bill

It’s the last(ish) stop before Chris & Ben head to Edinburgh for that there Fringe thing. Come see them off and have a look at their brand new shows.

BEN GOLDSMITH: CrimeLandTown

CrimeLandTown is an affectionate one-man character comedy spoof of the Italian-American gangster epic. It’s a story of a mafia heist, told by a bar singer who always wanted to be a wiseguy, but never made the grade. It’s a daft narrative about ambition, failure and Frank Sinatra. Like Goodfellas, but really dumb.

CHRIS EAST: My Brain is Soup, Your Hands are the Spoons

Chris East’s brain is a soup. The contents of that soup are a messy combination of ideas, half formed thoughts, plots, plans, ambitions, and characters, so many characters.

“Something weirder and more surreal… with glittering flashes of comic gold” (Spy in the Stalls)

“With hearty and well versed humour East prompted a roaring response from the audience” (The Edinburgh Student)

Expect Costumes, big characters, accents, music, an existential crisis and plenty of artistic self-doubt. A financial advisor who is also a biker? A lounge singer who just learned about sex? A PE teacher who is scared of the genie from Aladdin? This show has them all.
