23:00, Wed 22nd – Thu 23rd June 2005 at ADC Theatre
Easter May Week

One of the most talked-about British stand-ups to emerge in recent years, former Footlight Mark Watson (winner of four awards in the past three years, published novelist, and international star after the world's first solo 24-hour comedy performance last summer) performs a brand-new show for two nights only. In this rare preview show before a month at the Edinburgh Fringe 2005, Watson faces up to his mortality by attempting to cram his remaining 50 years into one frantic hour of stand-up. A blistering comic assault can be expected.

This production is one of four shows being previewed by Footlights alumni in May Week.

'magnificent, achingly funny' Daily Telegraph
