Pioneering alt-comedy hero and star of Cats Does Countdown Paul Foot is back on tour with a brand new stand-up show.
Remember when people were excited for the future? With visions of jetpacks, friendly robots wheeling around, and solar-powered bidets. Well, we don’t have visions like that anymore, do we?
But the universe is not over. The light has not gone out. Here’s a candle in the dark. Contagious and whispering. And you can take it with you when you leave.
As seen on Would I Lie To You?, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
