Neil Haigh’s Comedy Masterclass Ruined By Stewart Wright so successfully combines clowning, improvisation and theatrical storytelling that it’s leaving audiences saying:
A beleaguered acting lecturer channels twenty years of disappointment into a one-off Masterclass amidst a backdrop of professional pressure and personal crisis…will a surprise guest be his ruin or saviour?
Neil Haigh’s experience with groundbreaking theatre company Cartoon de Salvo and Stewart Wright’s 30 years as a comic character actor (Smack the Pony, Bridget Jones’s Diary) combine exquisitely into the most perfect of stage duos. With BAFTA-nominated Justin Sbresni as comedy consultant, this is a rare and unique treat of an evening out.
This show is part of The Old Paint Shop season, which transforms our Studio into a cabaret club.
Seating is unreserved, so be sure to grab your seats early and get a drink at the bar.
