Have you ever wondered how your favourite performers take their shows from a blank page in a notebook to a packed room in stitches?
Soho Theatre has announced a second series of our one day masterclasses taking place over Zoom featuring some of the top performers working in the industry today.
I know that sometimes it is hard to tell the spoof reality TV shows from the real ones but wasn't there a show a while back in which a group of young good looking people were locked in a house and you got evicted if you had sex with another housemate? Well, Last One Laughing feels like it has a vaguely similar premise of stopping people doing what they normally do. Except that here you get booted off the show for gagging not shagging. One giggle, one smirk and you are out. Last one left wins $100,000.
Edinburgh Comedy Award-winner Sam Simmons returns to the Soho Theatre with the world premiere of his brand-new alternative show for Christmas.
Sam Simmons is Away in a Stranger is an alternative Christmas show which answers life’s big questions: What is you? Where is me? When have I been all your life? Why am I doing this? How…? Join Sam to witness the miracle birth of the baby Greg* Wrap a biro in sausage meat and sit around the open pug while we all raise a warm mug of yoghurt to Greg.
Usually when I see a comedy show I write a review by the next morning at the latest. I saw Sam Simmons’ latest show Not A People Person on Friday night and I have been mulling it over ever since, trying to put my finger on what was going on onstage for 60 minutes. What I do know for certain is that it is a very funny show which I would highly recommend. I’ve just been trying to decipher and decode what it all means.
2015 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Sam Simmons is set to tour this autumn with his brand-new show. The Not A People Person tour will start in Belfast on September 29 and finish in Galway on October 29.
The legendary Roof Gardens in Kensington is staging its very first Comedy Festival on Sunday 26th June 2016. Katy Brand and Sam Simmons are among the performers who will be gigging From 3pm – 9pm 100ft above the London streets.
The REVERB! comedy stage has recently hosted top names such as Katherine Ryan, Doc Brown, Nick Helm, Joe Lycett and Kerry Godliman. This June's event will feature two stages with acts previewing Edinburgh Fringe material.
Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards has announced their fourth annual Foster’s Winner and Nominees Season at the Soho Theatre. Sam Simmons, Tom Ballard, Tom Parry and Adam Hess are all confirmed, with further names to be announced. In what was a record-breaking year, with the longest judging debate in its 35 year history, Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Awards is proud to showcase the comedy stars of tomorrow. Details below. Tickets and info here.
Sam Simmons has won this year's Barry Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The other nominees were Luisa Omielan, John Kearns, Steen Raskopoulos, Damien Power and Lawrence Mooney.
The Best Newcomer Award went to Corey White. The other nominees were Juan Vesuvius, Sam Campbell & Heidi O'Loughlin.
This was such a weird gig that my review that ran in the Standard last week (reprinted below) requires some context. It is hard to know where Sam Simmons the man ends and Sam Simmons the act begins. Throughout this show Simmons berated the audience for not getting on board despite all of the effort he was making.
Will there ever be any more Mighty Boosh? The door still seems to be open but whether Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding will ever enter the crazy Boosh world again together remains to be seen. In the meantime though Fielding is on his current solo tour, which is getting rave reviews and has already extended its run. It’s a combination of psychedelic sketches, nonsense characters, animations and more. Much it seems, like his recent Luxury Comedy series, which is no bad thing.
