Alan Committie The Lying King is the latest solo show from the funnyman, brought to the Theatre on the Bay for a festive run.
Once again, Alan will take a slightly skewered look at events from the past year, outline the comically bizarre possibilities for the following 12 months, and try to make audiences laugh their way through the eye-popping confusion of modern day living.
Says Alan: “We live in a world that thrives on mistruths, fake news, white lies and ‘mild inconsistencies“… and that’s just on your first date! Wait till you really get to know each other! We have all become Lying Kings in our own little way. Despite our best efforts to fight it.”
Luckily, he is here to unpack all the hilarious collatoral damage that we have to encounter.
The lure of the finger biscuit …
In this brand new solo show, Alan will talk about intermittent fasting, Heidi en Klara and other 80s TV deceits, the frustration of autocorrect, the lure of the finger biscuit and the spectacle of wearing glasses…
The comic is renowned for his witty and high energy material; this combined with his madcap physicality and clean content makes for an ideal year-end break from all the stresses and messes of December and January. Alan Committie The Lying King is all age -appropriate – so you can bring your youngsters, your aged and even your foreign visitors (there’s only so many times you can take them to the Waterfront) and come and have a riotious laugh and a gleeful giggle in one of the most beautifully situated theatres in the world.
Plus, if you’re lucky, Alan will perform the entire opening sequence of The Lion King by himself playing all the animals except for the Kwagga (for legal reasons).
