Paul CurrieProfessional company

60 minutesThe Ballroom
This will be award-winning absurdist comedian Paul Currie’s brand-new show, and his 11th full hour-long show. A welded fusion of ADHD, stand up, clown, art, noise rock and utter nonsense squeezed into 60 minutes of the most utterly bonkers comedy madness ever brought to a live stage. Strap in for a rusted rollercoaster ride into the southern hemisphere of reality. Imagine David Lynch, Iggy Pop and Spike Milligan on Buckfast and Haribo. 'Incredible' ***** (Scotsman). 'The best comedy I saw' ***** (Stewart Lee). 'Unique and jaw dropping' ***** (Entertainment-Now.com).
