About this show
This will be award-winning absurdist comedian Paul Currie’s brand-new show, and his 11th full hour-long show. A welded fusion of ADHD, stand up, clown, art, noise rock and utter nonsense squeezed into 60 minutes of the most utterly bonkers comedy madness ever brought to a live stage. Strap in for a rusted rollercoaster ride into the southern hemisphere of reality. Imagine David Lynch, Iggy Pop and Spike Milligan on Buckfast and Haribo. 'Incredible' * (Scotsman). 'The best comedy I saw' * (Stewart Lee). 'Unique and jaw dropping' * (Entertainment-Now.com).

The comedian's anarchic, affectionate comedy mixes silly songs with audience participation and moments of sincerity. Currie possesses a childlike wonder and it’s a joy to spend an hour in his world.
