About this show
An American comic with a British family escapes his dumpster-fire homeland and its would-be dictator to pick apart the gap between how Britain sees America and how it actually feels to live there. A British-style stand-up comedy show: it's part cultural autopsy, part love letter, it's a fast, joke-dense hour about being loudly from a country everyone loves to hate, while exploring if the America he grew up in ever existed at all, making you realize you might actually feel sorry for America... or at least Americans.
