About this show
Paul Savage has some mad stuff happen to him: he's been kidnapped, carjacked and accidentally did a jailbreak of a psychiatric ward. All whilst volunteering for charity. Come see how he's turned having a gun stuck in his face into jokes. Based on a far too true story. 'It is impressive to see the range and breadth of Savage's skill set' * (TheatreThoughtsAus.online). 'If you love to laugh, he should be in your to-see list' * (TheatreScotland.co.uk). 'Whatever the material, Savage is a naturally amusing host. A dependably funny hour' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Funny as f*ck' ½ (One4Review.co.uk).
