Dissolve

Following a sold out Edinburgh Fringe run, multi-award-winning and trail-blazing comedian, Paul Foot, is back on tour with the critically acclaimed Dissolve, his most personal, surprising and ground-breaking show ever.

Life is a stress: full of rushed breakfasts, angry people, internal conflict, and Jacob Rees-Mogg. But what happens when everything you thought was important – your problems, grievances against others, your very identity – simply disappears?

In the year 2022 AD something momentous changed for Paul, and in this show he will reveal how he discovered the secret of life on the outskirts of Lancaster. *Inevitably he does get distracted by King Tutankhamun, the House of Lords, Sir Cliff Richard, officious lollipop ladies and what Jesus might have achieved if he’d been a plumber.

*To be clear, Paul discovered the secret of life while he was located on the outskirts of Lancaster. Not the secret to living on the outskirts of Lancaster. There isn’t an answer to that.

He is also an Open Mic Award winner and Perrier Newcomer Nominee. So he's pretty good then!

In the USA Paul was a finalist on Series 6 of NBC's “Last Comic Standing”. 'It's baffling to me that Paul is not a household name in this country. His routines are like jazz clusters, loose hammocks, choked to the brim with jokes and ideas' (Noel Fielding) 'Inspired, surreal and incomprehensibly funny' (Chortle) 'Capable of raising a laugh with just a brief shudder in the beat between jokes' (Wow247) 'He is completely in charge. An hour in his company is one of wet faced glee and it's over in a flash' (The Scotsman).
