About Casey Filips
Casey Filips: What a Character is a character comedy hour from Australian comic Casey Filips, performed at The Box.

The show runs 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 12 and over, and involves audience participation. Tickets start from £8.
Why see this show?
Character comedy at its best rewards you with people you'll remember long after the final bow. Casey Filips has an eye for the precise, absurd detail that makes fictional people feel entirely real — warmly funny and worth your hour.
