Adam Riches (1)

Ex-Comedy award champ Adam Riches is notorious for his ultra-participative character comedy shows: compelling hands-on, dignity-off involvement from (usually male) audience members.

His new show Coach Coach is something of a departure: it’s a spoof sports movie starring a cast of fellow standups. Audience interaction is low in the mix – until the end, when you realise the show (and indeed Riches’ career) has all been building up to the most profound piece of audience participation he has ever created.
