Underbelly

Admin

Life is a stress: full of rushed breakfasts, angry people, internal conflict, and Jacob Rees-Mogg. But what happens when all the stress simply disappears? Trailblazing comedian, Paul Foot, returns with his most personal, surprising and groundbreaking show ever. In the year 2022 AD something momentous changed for Paul, and in Dissolve he reveals how he discovered the secret of life. Inevitably he does get distracted by King Tutankhamun, the House of Lords, Sir Cliff Richard and officious lollipop ladies. As seen on Would I Lie To You?, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Cats Does Countdown.

WJ Quinn, The Quintessential Review, 30th July 2023

Paul Foot 'disconnected from simple joys of life' while fighting depression after traumatic years

Paul Foot is a new man. The transformation goes deeper than the cropping of his mullet-esque hairdo, stand-up's most distinctive barnet. Far more importantly, after 29 years of severe mental health problems, he's happy.
