Life's getting a bit serious innit? Political instability, social politics making people less social - life now is guilt, followed by shame. However, what is life, if nothing but a distraction until you die? Archie Maddocks tackles the struggles of being alive in his latest hour of provocative, exhilarating and, crucially, hilarious comedy. 'Superb timing and quick wit' ***** (RadioHaHa.co.uk). Daily Mirror's Funniest Jokes and Evening Standard's Best Jokes of the Fringe 2018. 'A real highlight of the evening' (BBC Radio 4 Extra). 'Super cool, super smart storyteller' (Bruce Dessau, BeyondTheJoke.co.uk and Evening Standard).

Chortle, 24th July 2019The most impressive thing you have ever been underneath
For this year's Edinburgh Fringe, we've teamed up with Richard Herring (you probably know him best as Journalist from The Battersea Ripper) to offer a peculiar twist on the traditional festival questionnaire - with all the queries taken from his book of Emergency Questions, as originally used on his Leicester Square Theatre Podcast, RHLSTP. Starting with this one: What is the most impressive thing you have ever been underneath?
Chortle, 22nd July 2019My favourite comedian by Archie Maddocks
I can remember being 10 years old, sitting in my front room, with my mixed family around me. I remember sitting in awe as they all collapsed into laughter. Richard Pryor danced about the screen, doing an impression of a deer trying to drink from a lake while being nervous. I couldn't believe that this one man, on a stage alone, was making not only a room full of people laugh, but my family, who never all sat down and so vehemently agreed on the same thing. It was absolutely incredible.
