That’s the kind of title that grabs your attention! Back to the world of stand-up (apparently) for our next show, Circumcision, at the Laughing Horse @ Cabaret Voltaire, Blair Street, at 21:15 on Saturday 20th. Here’s the blurb: “A show about being circumcised at 27. Exploring sex, sexuality and gender, to try and understand why men don’t talk openly about their bodies. As seen on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. As featured in the Guardian, the Independent and Cosmopolitan. **** (BroadwayBaby.com). **** (ThreeWeeks).”
This sounds like a very brave session of stand-up from Dave Chawner, who gets a very good range of reviews online, and I’m looking forward to hearing all about his experiences! Check back after 10.30 pm to see if he really was funny, and by then the next preview blog should be available to read too.
Post-show update:
Enjoyable but also challenging stand up show that used Dave’s adult circumcision as the start and end point but took us through personal tales of mental health issues, anorexia, sexuality and the nature of masculinity – whilst never losing sight of the fact that it was all very funny! Really likeable performer and the show flashed past in an instant. Definitely Someone To Watch!
