About this show
Ben Pope ('total delight' (Fest)) is a bookseller by day and a stand-up comedian by night. Come and join him as he stress tests a new hour of book-flavoured jokes. There’ll be stuff about Where’s Wally?, airport thrillers, Dr Seuss, performative male readers and Sylvia Plath’s bloody fig tree. Maybe he'll even read some bits of a book he's writing. If you consider yourself a reader: this show is for you! If you don’t – well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re reading RIGHT NOW. I’ll see you there.
