The father of modern comedy, Alexei Sayle, returns to the Soho Theatre with his first full-length solo stand-up show in over 16 years. A key component in the alternative comedy circuit of the 80s, Sayle is just as much at home as a cynical political comic as he is performing physical comedy in the tradition of Spike Milligan and Monty Python. Renowned for his absurd and surreal riffs, Sayle promises a calmer second incarnation and comes to the Soho Theatre on the back of a sell-out tour of small UK venues testing out new material. "Still gobby and engagingly self-deprecating," says the Evening Standard, while The Times praises the loudmouth Liverpudlian for his "rare and wonderful" comic control.
About Soho Theatre
The Soho Theatre Company was formed in 1969 by Verity Bargate and Fred Proud, but it didn't have a permanent home until 2000, when its current Dean Street location opened. This modern space was the first theatre to be built with National Lottery money. More about Soho Theatre
