Ed Aczel – “Britain’s greatest living anti-comedian” (The Guardian) – brings his secondnationwide stand-up tour to Lighthouse, Poole’s Centre for the Arts on Saturday 23 January as he tries once again to nail down the nature of existence.
Aczel is known for not following the rules of stand-up comedy and he aims to use his show, with the help of the Chaos Theory, to change the world once and for all – although it may turn out to be too complicated.
He asks whether you can have your cake and eat it – i.e. seek to change human consciousness forever and keep your weekends free. Ed includes a couple of amusingly circular stories about his life, which thankfully don’t last long. Bringing Maths, History and Improv to life for beginners, he explores his own inner psyche with a section analysing his dreams – and then tries not to get too paranoid.
“Ed is a deadpan dynamo and very funny… if you don’t laugh you must be sad”
★★★★ The Mirror
“It could be said that you either love him or hate him, but that’s incorrect. You love him or you’ve missed the point”
