A event held at The Room Above on Friday 24th March. The event starts at 20:00.
Holy Cow
Ben Pope (‘a total delight’ – Fest) is bored of small talk. So here it is! A show about The Big Stuff: God, death, love, the galaxy and, most of all, chocolate.
What happens after you die? What’s God up to? Is love forever? Why do people like stargazing when it’s so desperately boring?
Ben’s got some huge questions and the answers are, well, sublime.
Ben Pope
Ben Pope is a stand-up comedian, writer and comedy performer, gigging across the UK. His critically-acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe shows Baby Sasquatch (2018) and Dancing Bear (2019) were 'consistently funny and deceptively thoughtful' (The Scotsman), transferring to London’s Soho Theatre.
Ben was also one third of the cult sketch group Princes of Main, previously worked with the award-winning NewsRevue, and has appeared on Achievement Unlocked (Comedy Central), Comedy Guide to Life (Dave) and BBC New Comedy Award on Radio 4 Extra.
Praise for previous work:
Edfest Mag ** 'undeniably funny and a clear crowd favourite'
Fest 'a total delight'
Scotsman 'consistently funny and deceptively thoughtful'
The Skinny 'always spot-on'
Chortle 'classy, stylish and accomplished'
