Book NowAbout Matthew Edgar
Daniel Moore's Definitive Guide to Failure-Free Living is a satirical one-man play written and performed by Matthew Edgar, an Off-West End award-nominated actor. The show follows Daniel Moore — a men's self-help guru operating with a single button and an extraordinary number of hours logged in solitude — now on the verge of completing a second block of ten thousand hours and ready to share his expertise with the world. Running 50 minutes at Just the Tonic at The Subway, this debut play is suitable for ages 18 and over. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
A darkly comic portrait of self-improvement obsession, performed by an actor who wrote the material himself. The premise is absurd but the satire has real teeth, and the solo format puts everything on Edgar's ability to hold the room.
