Meanwhile…

With a busted knee, a burst eardrum and heroic reveries replaced by painkillers and words like 'ouch', 'pardon' and 'I'm down here!’, the ripe old Todd reckons he has one last chance to reinvent himself, and just enough transferrable skills and body parts to do it. A new show from award-winning standup Richard Todd. ★★★★ The Scotsman, Chortle, The List, The Skinny, Fest

'Some comics have a gift of words that touches their work with wonder. Richard Todd is such a comic… Painfully funny… like finding The Fall guesting on X-Factor.’ The Scotsman.

Richard Todd won the Amused Moose Laugh-Off 2012, Shaftesbury Fringe Best Show 2017, and a Chortle One to Watch 2018. He has written a short film for Channel 4. And performed three critically acclaimed solo shows.

'Constructing complex, bewilderingly intricate sentences from the far reaches of a vast vocabulary, he occasionally calls to mind a persecuted Daniel Kitson, or an intelligent Russell Brand. Ultimately though, Todd emerges as a talent entirely of his own. The left-field subject matter he tackles is rooted in the everyday, and we identify with him for all his wildly eccentric thoughts and behaviour.’ – Lewis Porteous, Fest ★★★★

'Expertly crafted in his use of flamboyant language and structure, Todd has slowly built an act that is both fitting to call absurdist and unique. His use of odd turns of phrase seem completely off-the-cuff but are so perfectly weird that it shouldn’t be attributed to anything other than his abilities as a writer and storyteller.'
