Summary

This performance by Simon Evans is a master class in aloof, patrician observational stand up.To the delight of a packed audience, the star of Live at the Apollo and Stand Up for the Week brings a little polish to the Theatre Royal Brighton.

Evans looks back at his life and times, from his early days in London to his family life by the seaside. Along the way, his reflections are as ever as dry and delicious as a good Sancerre, or perhaps a really good radish.

Much underrated comedian

It is criminal that you don't see this comedian on television more often. In a densely-packed industry full of cookie-cutter comics with the usual bien pensant offerings on Trump, Brexit, economics, etc, Evans provides a refreshing and highly entertaining comedy voice. Geordies might not be too keen, however!

Which is all well and good.... but where *are* his eyes?

Original humour that hits every funny note

Simon Evans has a great style where you think the story or punch line goes one way and yet it turns at the last moment. Very funny guy.
