         I Never Told A Joke In My Life         Just Like Larry Walters

I Never Told A Joke In My Life

Synopsis:
In I Never Told A Joke In My Life solo performer Chris Williams recites an endless list of all the things that could happen in a comedy act - from fights with the audience, to sing-a-longs, walk-outs and on stage deaths. Drawn mostly from real incidents of failure in stand-up comedy, the show cycles through Andy Kaufman's numerous fights with audiences, Anthony Griffith's 10-minute description of his daughter's battle with cancer, and the ultimate failure of all - the death of Tommy Cooper, live on stage and television. Audience participation is a significant element of the show. Volunteers are present on the stage for most of the performance, with one becoming a 'glamorous assistant' and being given secret instructions on how to finish the show when Chris leaves the stage at the end. The show creates a troubled comedy out of the failures it describes, shifting between humour and moments of darkness. The audience are lulled into a false sense of security - encouraged to laugh, join in and even dance on stage. But from time to time the performance pulls the rug from under them and creates a dark hole in the narrative - often leaving volunteers stranded on stage without instructions, whilst some tragic scenario is described for the rest of the audience.

Just Like Larry Walters

Synopsis:
In 1982, Larry Walters tied 45 helium balloons to his garden chair and flew up into the sky. We want you to imagine that. We want you to close your eyes and hold on tight, as we begin to drift up. Through tales of human endeavour, dance routines, and songs from The Greatest Ever Party Album, Drunken Chorus attempt to piece together something magical; only to find themselves surrounded by half-inflated party balloons, scraps of rubber and burst bubbles.

Devised & performed by Chris Williams & Sheena Holliday
