About us
Local Plymouth promoters A Press of Suspects {presents} have teamed up with Soapbox Children's Theatre to bring new Mum's and Dad's some much needed comic relief!
Becoming a parent is a wonderful journey with many highs and lows. It can be an overwhelming and, at times, isolating experience. Comedy can be used to help build a sense of connection and also relieve symptoms of poor mental health. This show aims to help parents reconnect with their adult selves, an experience that is for them as opposed to their children.
The event will take place at 10:30am on Friday 27th MAY and will feature professional comics performing their normal club sets for new parents who can't get out at night!
Babies, children 2 and under, breastfeeding and general chaos are all welcome but please bear in mind there will be occasional swearing and adult themes.
Our May line up up is an absolute belter:
Stephen Carlin:
As seen on BBC's "Comedy Underground" and Comedy Central's "Alternative Comedy Experience", Stephen Carlin has gained critical acclaim and a growing fan base with his original, insightful material and his accomplished delivery. He is increasingly expanding his following on the international comedy scene performing this year across Asia and Europe.Chosen as one of Stewart Lee's "Ten Best Stand Up Comedians Ever" Carlin has supported Stewart Lee, Stephen Merchant & Tom Stade on their British tours. As always, Carlin's art lies in his ability to quarry wildly original material from the most conventional of starting points. By taking run-of-the-mill observations and then applying his relentless but warped logic. This married to his exceptional use of language and his brilliantly opinionated broadsides make for memorable routines. All skilfully delivered in his deadpan Scottish brogue. Stephen is an experienced writer and has written for many BBC Shows including the Now Show and the Newsquiz. He is the author of a Comedy Blog, which hilariously exposes the many facets of a life lived in comedy.
All hosted by:
