Solo show, Stand-up

Laughing Matters

Half stand-up show, half play, Laughing Matters follows Chris, an up-and-coming comedian forced to throw out his material following the tragic loss of his girlfriend. As the audience watches his grief reshape both his life and his comedy set, he must figure out how to be funny, and how to live, without her. Fresh from successful London runs, Alec Watson's 'laugh out loud funny' (TheReviewsHub.com) solo show lays bare the complex and deeply personal relationship between a comedian, their material and their life. A bittersweet exploration of grief, creativity and starting again from a blank page.
