A Hero For Our Times

This is a comic tale of love, loss, redemption and ramekins.
Slightly surreal, hugely funny, it’s a story about how to cope with the absurdity of today’s world, find love at 43, put on a one-man show in New York and come to terms with all your spare ramekins. ‘Ridiculously funny, breathtakingly erudite’ a ‘glorious, hilarious’ story, (Scotsman), told by ‘a brilliant, witty man at his peak’, (Chortle).
This is the sequel to my multiple five-star, sell out one-man show: The Brandreth Papers. Presented by the Gilded Balloon after a hugely successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018.
Running time: 1 hour
2019 - Soho Theatre, London
