Comedy in the shape of anarchic cook George Egg comes to Bridport Electric Palace on Saturday 21 January.
George’s shows at Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe have been complete sell-outs. Tickets are just £5 plus booking fee.
Wildly brandishing the worlds’ second largest briefcase containing a battery of ridiculous props, George bounds onto the stage to perform one of the most original, interesting, innovative, and sweetly whimsical comedy performances you are ever likely to see. He has been hailed as ‘a Tommy Cooper for the twenty first century’ and through tears of laughter you’ll see why. A true cross between alternative stand-up comedy and music hall variety.
He is currently working on a number of projects including a game show, and a short film.
George Egg has been a professional stand-up comedian for the last two decades. He has an extremely successful solo show which has toured Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Austria, France and extensively in the United Kingdom, both on the stage and on the television, and more recently has been the support act for Lee Mack, Mickey Flannagan and Jack Dee.
If you like food and cooking then you’ll like George Egg. His show is a cocktail of stand-up comedy, striking innovation and extreme multi-tasking.
George spends a lot of time staying in hotels and some years ago, unimpressed with room service, he took matters into his own hands. Whilst performing a mind-bendingly original show of comedy-cum-illustrated-lecture George prepares a three-course meal on the equipment hotels unwittingly provide (iron, kettle, trouser press…), and if you want to, you can taste it at the end.
Future comedy events at Bridport Electric Palace include Rob Beckett, who brings his brand new Mouth of the South tour to Bridport on Wednesday 22 March. Tickets are £16 plus booking fee. Then on Saturday 6 May, it’s the turn of multi-award winning comedian, presenter, actor, author and scriptwriter Russell Kane. Tickets are £17 plus booking fee.
