Jack Rooke: Good Grief
BAFTA winner and recovering spoken-word artist Jack Rooke (Creator of Hulu/C4's Big Boys), revives his debut comedy-theatre hour, a decade on from its first Fringe run. Featuring the original show (co-written with his nan) and new content, this retrospective explores grief, milking having a dead dad for personal/professional gain, the innocence of writing just for oneself before the interference of "telly wankers", and the palpable regret of his own decline into becoming said "telly wanker". Directed by Gabriel Bisset-Smith. 'Good Grief 2.0 [is] a delightful and still affecting watch' (Guardian). 'Engaging, frank, humorous' (New York Times).
