Paul Richards: Restless Monkey Chops

Event information

A show about a show about a show. Stuck in a monkey costume and turning 45, Paul Richards has enjoyed plenty of success of late, but naturally still focuses on the nights where things have gone horribly wrong. Not really an actor (but has won 5 international awards), not really a comedian (but keeps getting nominated for stuff), absolutely not a real man (doesn't know how to change a tyre), he's been getting away with this for a while...is this the year he finally gets found out? Let's ignore all the positives, this is a show about why it's okay to sweat the really small stuff. Come and watch a multi-award-winning, but incredibly restless, man on total overdrive.

Reviews of Paul's previous work:

“Like an alternative Ferris Bueller…the escalating web of chaos is skilfully scripted in the vein of a classic film comedy. ****” - The Scotsman

"Paul Richards brings energy in abundance and charmingly, wittily, tells his tale, but the tale is a cautionary one : ignore strains upon your mental health at your peril. It is most definitely a Fringe show for our times and is highly recommended." - FringeReview

”Such an amazing performance. A must-experience show.” - BBC Radio Cambridgeshire

"This riotously funny show might just be the funniest hour you spend at this year's fringe. Everyone was in stitches throughout." - The Write Angle

"Watching Paul Richards on stage is quite a dynamic experience...despite the apparently chaotic nature of the show and the performer, the writing underpinning everything was particularly artful and layered...there are real fleeting moments of wistful melancholy. A puppy wired on own-brand energy drink, you wouldn’t believe he ever sleeps, not once you’ve seen him on stage." - The Swindonian
