Simon Evans: Staring at the Sun

Blue Book Artist Management • Professional company

60 minutes•Just the Big Room
An odd title perhaps for a show taking place in Edinburgh, let alone in The Caves. But those familiar with Plato will understand the reference, as will those familiar with Donald J Trump. Simon hits 60 this year, and perhaps more significantly his daughter hits 21 and his son 18. He no longer needs to think of the children; his time is short and with no more shackles on his instinct, he'll give you the raw, unlubricated truth. 'A masterclass' ***** (Scotsman). 'Outstanding' ****½ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Dynamite' **** (Times).
