The Carpark, a comedy special from Huge Davies, is now available online.

The musical comedian's debut live stand-up show, The Carpark drew widespread critical praise at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2019 and saw Huge nominated for Best Newcomer in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. The show then transferred to Soho Theatre, selling out and coming back for an extra three runs due to popular demand. The producers say: "Now, for the first time, audiences can view this critically acclaimed hit at home."

The Carpark is initially be available to stream on 800 Pound Gorilla's platform before getting a general release on YouTube and other streaming platforms from 20th July.

The eponymous Carpark, as Davies explains, is where his biographical musical is set. It's a site-specific piece of work, so what he needs from a venue - all he needs - is an empty carpark. It's not a lot to ask, but upon arrival Huge finds the venue, whilst great for most comedy shows, is not fit for purpose for his magnum opus, ruining his carefully planned show. Undeterred (although really quite annoyed), Huge promises to make the best of a bad situation, taking a new approach to his back story in this hour of "unwaveringly deadpan comedy", armed only with a wearable Yamaha keyboard and a dark sense of humour.

The blurb continues: "Huge demands full attention and participation from his audience as he deconstructs well-loved musical tropes - many seemingly incongruous to his stony-faced delivery until he unlocks the surreal undertones just beneath the surface of familiar sounds from film, television and popular culture. Expect musings on Daft Punk, Wallace & Gromit and Gladiator the movie in a style only Huge can muse..."
