adam riches
It's the show you've all been waiting for even though you might not have known it. Adam Riches and John Kearns, both Edinburgh Comedy Award winners with decidedly idiosyncratic streaks, have teamed up for this unique tribute to two of the country's finest musical stars, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe. Yes, they really have. The result is an hour of sheer brilliant stupidity.
The Underbelly has put another batch of Edinbugh Fringe shows on sale.
Multi-award winning comedian Adam Riches will embark on his debut UK tour The Adam Riches Experience in 2019.
It's the sequel nobody asked for but they are getting it anyway. Three years ago Adam Riches delivered Coach Coach, the redemptive tale of Eric Coach, the gum-addicted US campus trainer of a team of no-hoper volfsball (it's a bit like basketball) players. And now he's back and if anything it is funnier than the first time round.
Fight in the Dog, the production company co-founded by acclaimed writer and comic Liam Williams, has announced its 14 shows for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018. It is their biggest roster yet, covering theatre and comedy.
The line-up includes Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Adam Riches (pictured in mask), who is bringing two shows to Queen Dome.
Jordan Brookes (pictured in blue paint) returns following his Comedy Award Nomination last year.
Adam Riches brings his acclaimed Edinburgh show, Inane Chicanery, to the Soho Theatre this week. Riches is famous, among other things, for getting members of his audience up onstage to play an integral part in his sketches feeding him fruit juice or taking part in an impromptu hair-cutting session. It can be seat-of-your-pants stuff in numerous senses. You never know quite how far he will push things and for many, including me, you can never quite unclench your buttocks during his set for fear that you are about to be selected.
The thing about plucking someone from the audience to take part in your heavily immersive sketch is that you have to pick the right person. On the night I was in Adam Riches, who is usually spot-on with his choices, kicked off by pulling out the most awkward man in the room. I could see him flinch a few times when Riches got close and then after Riches tried to say they were friends he answered with a brusque “I’m not your friend. Fuck Off.” At least his victim sat down and didn’t leave the gig or punch the award-winning star.
The 2011 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Adam Riches is to appear in a new West End play alongside veteran actor Peter Bowles. Stop!...the Play by David Spicer will open at Trafalgar Studio 2 for a 4-week season from Tuesday 2 June - Saturday 27 June. in which the worst night in the theatre becomes the most hilarious play in town.
Full-length comedy shows used to be the showbiz equivalent of the May fly. They did their runs in Edinburgh, London and then on tour, and then they were gone forever. The comedians moved on to their next project.
