Marcus Brigstocke: Absolute Shower

Following an acclaimed, sellout run at this year's Edinburgh Festival, Marcus hits the road with his new show Absolute Shower, celebrating the personal triumphs, small victories and joyful failures of the past couple of years, while acknowledging it has for many of us been an absolute shower of s***.

A few things have changed. He's become a father, again, 19 years after becoming a Dad for the first time. He's graduated as a Level 1 Cheese Master. He's experienced the agonies of bereavement. He's learned to play the trumpet to a very very poor level. He's made a deep connection with his neighbours. They speak some actual sentences now as well as nodding courteously. He 'broke through' on US TV after his and Rachel Parris' ludicrous Lip Sync Battles exploded online, and even more than ever he feels sure that the right combination of jokes will lead to a change in government.
