John Pendal: We Are Family
Storyteller and stand-up comedian John Pendal explores his family tree and discovers mutinies in the 1800s, arson in the 1900s and autism in the 2000s. He uses the results to try and answer life's big questions, such as, is it possible to get along with your Dad after Brexit? This is a show aimed at anyone anxious about the current state of the world... or finds their family sometimes annoys them. 'Fringe Brilliance' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Hilarious... definitely not to be missed' **** (VoiceMag.uk).
