John Pendal

Storyteller and stand-up comic John Pendal returns to Leicester with his hit show “Monster” fresh from the Edinburgh Festival – where it received 4 five star reviews.

Monster is a show about sex and sexuality that laughs in the face of shame and guilt.

“There aren't many comedy shows that you leave feeling enlightened, which makes Pendal's approach feel particularly unique.” – The Wee Review

John lies awake from 3-4am every night worrying he's not a good person.

Why would this shy Baptist boy from Watford be so full of shame? What’s the difference between shame and guilt? And is it too late for John to try and live without either?

Monster is aimed at anyone struggling to feel good about themselves.

“What John is doing in my opinion is closing the gap between those with mental health issues and everyone else.” - Voice Magazine

John has performed over 1,200 gigs since 2010 across the UK from Falmouth to Edinburgh. His first three shows went on to tour Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Edmonton, Fort Lauderdale, Melbourne, Oslo and Rome.
