Paul Richards

With ten Edinburgh Fringe productions and three full UK tours under his wing, Cambridge-based playwright/performer Paul Richards returns with his new show, Getting Lost In My Hometown.

A solo storytelling comedy show; this excitable hour finds 32-year-old Paul moving back to his hometown only to feel troubled…troubled by the fact that everyone is suddenly married with offspring on the way, troubled by the fact that his family (even the dog) are suddenly old, troubled by a text message from a drunken night before.

Throughout his long walk back to his new house, Paul raises that important question: at what point does an awkward young man just become an awkward man? Getting Lost In My Hometown is a chirpy 50 minutes, unexpectedly heart-warming, complete with the shortest pub quiz in the world and a dreadful romantic ballad.
