Fresh from success at the Buxton Fringe and Arts Fest Birmingham Comfortism bring an evening of very short and surreal plays ranging from low comedy to highly political in-your-face satire; sometimes involving the audience - with hilarious results. Comfortism take you on a journey. That begins as the Waco siege ends, jumps to Chairman Mao's China, back through grim Arctic winters and again to the Deep South, locked in bitter religious and racial strife. Awash with modern day bogey men, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, David Koresh and James Earl Ray. But somehow in all this Comfortism also manage to ask the really important questions. Why do old men fart in your face? What kind of wart have you got? And how did Richard Hawley of Pulp and the Longpigs turn into the Elvis Presley of the North? A style of theatre that anyone used to stand-up will love but also to those who like their theatre a little less conventional. Praise for Comfortism: " Strangely flattered...Like it!" Richard Hawley "quirkily engaging...one of our more charmingly edgy performers." Theatre Wales "performance poetry taken a step further into edgy interactive theatre" Buxton Fringe Wednesday 29th October Comfortism...Show 13 Venue: Townhill Campus Theatre - Swansea Met University Time: 7:30pm Price: £5 www.comfortism.co.uk ashley@comfortism.co.uk Ashley Smith (Nottingham) on Facebook |
