'Between moving to a new city, starting a new career and gaining new responsibilities, award-winning comedian Kwame Asante has had to embrace a lot of changes over the past few years. He's been doing his best to process it all, but could do with your help! His eagerly anticipated debut show sees him work through a collection of his best observations and anecdotes from his recent transitions. Listeners, nodders, smilers and laughers, all will be welcomed with open arms! 'One to Watch' (Time Out). 'A natural, he is sure to go onto better things' (Steve Bennett, Chortle).
