Nearby Simon Amstell: Do Nothing

 
 
Simon Amstell: Do NothingBig-haired cynic Simon Amstell recently announced he was giving up Never Mind The Buzzcocks to concentrate on his live work. And so here he is, concluding his with two-month UK Tour with three back-to-back gigs in London at venues which include Shepherd's Bush Empire and the Royal Court Theatre. Far from the cerebral teaser of lesser-witted pop celebrities, a seemingly reclusive and angst-ridden Amstell shows a more tender side when alone with a microphone, exposing an "unexpected sensitivity" (The Guardian) lurking behind the trademark curly mop and acid-tongued put-downs. His inimitable interviewing and presenting style saw him catapult to stardom on our small screens, but his live act couldn't be further from his TV persona, and sees the 29-year-old turn his best weapons on himself. "Intellectually sophisticated, engagingly honest, genuinely accomplished stand-up" says The Scotsman, while The Sunday Times adds: "As close as you can get to a man emotionally and philosophically disembowelling himself on stage."
 

About Royal Court Theatre

Dedicated to putting on new work and discovering new voices, the Royal Court Theatre was seen as 'the most important theatre in Europe' by no less an authority than The New York Times. In 1956 it staged John Osborne's Look Back in Anger - a landmark in modern British drama - and the Sloane Square theatre has continued to produce work of an equally high standard, with numerous productions making a successful transition to the West End.
