KNICKERBOCKER GLORY | Up Next Festival 26

Saturday 28th March

7pm

Knickerbocker Glory is a two-hander, kitchen-sink sketch show, following the many lives ofeveryday people, who have no idea just how hilarious they really are. It’s a borderline-verbatim, observational comedy with conversations you might have heard on the bus. They’re people we all know and love, with wit that could cut glass and honesty that could take your eye out.

Dark, dry and deadpan, this show blends hyper-naturalism into a sketch show format. Think: If This Country and The Catherine Tate Show had a baby, and named it after an ice cream We all know someone like supermarket worker, Ash in Yorkshire, who has early onset arthritis and a short fuse when it comes to his tiny boss, Clifford. Or Keesh in Birmingham who has weekly UTI’s and is on a rampage at Craig for leaving the lights on (again).

Two actors. 11 characters. One declining will to live. Embark with us on an evening of satire, as we travel region to region, mocking the utterly mundane and categorically insane.

If you don’t laugh, you get your money back (joking).
