The Lying King - Circle of laughs

April 21, 2021 to April 22, 2021
Stand up comedy
Created & Written by Alan Committee; Directed by Chris Weare
80mins

Alan Committie is a Lying King and returns to the Drama Factory with his madcap comedy musings. 

In this hilarious solo show Committie will talk about The Queens Gambit, Heidi en Klara and other 80’s tv deceits, the frustration of autocorrect, the lure of of the finger biscuit and the spectacle of wearing glasses. And he might even explore why men can never provide enough details in a story…..Or perhaps he will not talk about any of these things. Because winter is coming and nothing is what it seems…. Committie is renowned for his witty and high energy material and combined with his madcap physicality and clean content makes for an ideal show for everyone in the family.

Five star reviews!
“A masterclass in the theatre of stand up” Robyn Cohen
“Thought-provoking, relevant, and joyous, this is vintage Alan Committie” Beverley Brommert
“This comedian is on top of his game” Karen Rutter

We thoroughly enjoyed this show and were really amused by Alan. Thought his speed of humour was astonishing but were very pleased we were nowhere near the front row! Sorry for delay in response - have been away for the weekend.

Laughter is the best medicine and both Neil and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Would happily see him again. Alan entertained us for an hour and a half, he was amazing! Thank you, Sue for all the great work you do to get us class acts in Somerset West.
