About Grant Sharkey
Webber! is a musical comedy and satire show by Grant Sharkey, a comedian, satirist and composer, performed at the Studio and running for 50 minutes. The show follows a character obsessed with becoming a Lord who makes a Faustian pact with the eternal spirit of Ruining Everything — who looks suspiciously like Margaret Thatcher.

It is suitable for ages 16 and over and contains scenes of a sexual nature and strong language. Tickets are £6.
Why see this show?
Sharply researched musical satire with earworm songs and a genuinely funny central conceit — a Faustian pact with a Thatcher-shaped spirit of destruction. Grant Sharkey writes both the jokes and the music, and the combination gives the show an unusual density of wit.
