Join Gareth Richards, 2010 Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee for his brand new show of jokes and songs about being an introvert stuck in an extrovert's world. Gareth's parents could not afford to take the whole family to Disneyland, so they went without him. Gareth has never recovered, always feeling that he has been shut outside of life's theme park. 'His material has a delicious otherworldly quality.' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'A delightful hour of comedy' (Guardian). 'He's a quietly clever craftsman with a big future' (Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard).
