If you like food, you’ll love this…
Internationally acclaimed comedian George Egg is also a rather fanatical self-taught cook with a somewhat anarchic approach to making meals. As obsessed with culinary matters as he is with comedic ones, and finding himself dissatisfied with the quality and cost of takeaways and room-service meals while touring the stand-up comedy clubs of the world, George embarks on a project to take matters into his own surprisingly capable hands.
A surreal and absurd mix of stand-up comedy and striking innovation – in the words of Jay Rayner – “You’ll never look at a Corby trouser press in the same way again”
“It’s an hilarious show, with surprisingly good food.” The Times
“It is refreshing to encounter a performer who really is unique.” The Telegraph
“Absolutely glorious.” The Scotsman
