Boxeddy Live! @the Wig and Pen, Northampton

Oxymoron* Luverly! Stephen K Amos is back with a brand new show, after treading the boards of London’s West End in the smash hit musical My Fair Lady, playing the iconic role of Alfred P. Doolittle. What a mad couple of years it’s been! How did you get through it all? Stephen’s solution… find the funny. The opportunity in the crisis, the joy in the sadness, the wisdom of fools, after all comedy equals tragedy. Join him for an hour of solid jokes and guaranteed belly laughs. Fresh from a sell-out tour in Australia and the US and as seen on QI and Pilgrimage: The Road To Rome, The Project and Live At The Apollo. So what are you waiting for? He’s awfully good! *A serious comedian
