2016 Edinburgh Fringe
John-Luke Roberts Builds a Monster
A thoughtful idiot builds a monstrous show for your entertainment. A monster in progress from the creator of Stnad-Up and Stdad-Up, co-creator of the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society, and co-writer of Robert Lyndsay and Maureen Lipman's sitcom Bull. Trained by Philippe Gaulier. 'Intelligent, precise and deadly funny' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Brilliant' (Independent). 'Stretches the boundaries of the form with a childlike glee' (Guardian). 'John-Luke Roberts. Funny as f*ck and clever? Sure. But he is also a dick. I'd bottle him all up' (Tony Law).
