About the show
Paul Foot: The Future [WIP]
Hello and OMG. Everything’s wrong in the world. When did optimism end? Remember years ago when people were excited for the future, with predictions of people flying around on jet packs, friendly robots that wheeled themselves round the kitchen making tea, and solar powered bidets? Well, we don’t have fun visions for the future like that anymore, do we?
In this show, which, much like human civilisation, is a Work-in-Progress, Paul tries to find a way forward for humanity that isn’t environmental collapse, war and pointless arguments. His medium is stand-up comedy, his allotted time is 58 minutes to one hour, his message is hope (hopefully).

'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).

Joe Wells
'Joe Wells is a skilled jokesmith who threads great gags through intelligent political material that, whilst razor-sharp, is never particularly angry or dark. As the first gross gags open up into smarter, topical ones it's clear that this is a tightly-structured, well thought-out set. Excellent jokes and sly political comment wrapped tightly in a neat parcel which delivers regular, powerful laughs from a delighted audience. He spins new life out of easy targets like bankers and the BNP with some wonderful imagery' (British Comedy Guide)
'Highly original, inspired and suitably different from the rest of the crowd… brilliantly crafted jokes' (Comedy Central).
'A star of the future... some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian in his early 20s' (The Guardian).
'A real venom in his delivery seemed to communicate that the numerous laughs that he manages to obtain are just positive collateral to the message he is trying to portray' (Broadway Baby).
