The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for those aged 14 and over. Contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A dry, self-aware hour from a comedian reckoning honestly with getting older and going sober. Chawner's sharply observed take on identity and ageing is the kind of stand-up that stays with you — and it's free.
