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.

Winner: (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2023 – Best Show Co-Winner

‘Funnier and more daring than I’ve ever seen him… [has] the audience laughing so hard they’re about to leave their bodies’ ★★★★★Chortle
