Stand-up cook George Egg is going on tour with his latest show.
George Egg: DIY Chef sees George relocated to the garden shed where his imagination and resourcefulness leads him to build an improvised kitchen. During an inspiring and inventive evening of stand-up, live cooking and comedy lecture George prepares a breakfast, a lunch and a dinner using, amongst other things, a wallpaper stripper, a heat gun, a paper shredder and a whole host of other power tools, office equipment, hair-dressing appliances and gardening implements. And the audience get to eat the food at the end.
George Egg: DIY Chef was a Total Sell Out at the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Brighton Festival Fringe 2017 where it enjoyed a glut of 5 and 4 star rave reviews. Produced by Lakin McCarthy Entertainments in association with the Badge Farm Foundation the Spring Tour takes George all over the UK to theatres, arts centre and festivals including a run at Soho Theatre’s main house in March.
His last show, George Egg: Anarchist Cook, toured extensively on a 60 plus date tour throughout the UK as well as abroad at festivals in New Zealand, Estonia, Norway and Holland. Sell out runs at the Soho Theatre and elsewhere lead to appearances cooking on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Loose Ends’ and Radio 4 Extra’s ‘The Comedy Club’.
As a professional and sought-after comedian for the last two decades George has performed internationally taking his absurd brand of far-reaching humour to Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Austria, France, Norway, New Zealand, Hong Kong and even India, both on stage and on the television. He has also been the support act for Lee Mack, Micky Flanagan and Jack Dee.
