John-Luke Roberts: What I Talk About When I Run About, Talking

John-Luke Roberts • Professional company

60 minutes•Monkey Barrel 4
JLR returns with his first new show in four years. Hilarious stand-up about the human condition, nearly dying and what it's like to have an endoscopy on Remembrance Sunday at exactly 11am. Hilarious, though, that's the main thing. Some poems too. Aiming for at least five-to-six laughs a minute, so about three hundred total which is pretty good actually. Big accessible laughs too, while not selling out on my alternative roots. Come on, you'll like it. Fringe Legend Award winner. ***** (List). ***** (Fest). **** (Guardian). **** (Telegraph).
