Absolute Nickhead

Nick Kirk • Amateur Company

60 minutes•Nic 8 (Nicolson Square Gardens)
Nick Kirk, West End New Act finalist, just wants to put on a silly character show. His own inner monologue has other ideas. Who will win? Will it make any sense? Does that even matter? These questions, and fewer, might be answered in Absolute Nickhead... 'Safety officer Dave Steed is an amusing tragi-comic conceit and expertly performed with fine timing' (Chortle.co.uk).
