An evening of exaggeration, emancipation and (yes!) dense academic theory from London’s Last Libertine, John Tothill. This work-in-progress show straddles cabaret and TEDTalk (by which I mean it’s stand-up comedy).
Described as one of the most “personable and truly funny talents” on the comedy scene by The List Magazine, and as “the first comedian ever to reference Hobbesian economics on stage” by Chortle, John Tothill’s new material consists of a frivolous examination of urban pleasure, the sex appeal of the Catholic Church, his experience deliberately getting malaria, and many other themes whose coherence you would be right to question. Come for the comedy; stay for the leopard print.
I am a stand-up comedian from Essex, now living in London. Since leaving the Footlights in 2018, I have won 2Northdown's New Act Competition, performed at Latitude Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe, the United States and various fringe venues in London.
