From Here To Absurdity

As part of its current UK tour, the quick-fire satirical sketch show From Here to Absurdity is coming to Porlock and will be performed at the Village Hall on Friday 19 August.

Written and performed by Private Eye contributor Richard Kelly, From Here to Absurdity comprises 90 minutes of original comedy sketches that recall the hey-day of Peter Cook and Beyond the Fringe.

It has already performed at innumerable venues across the country and has headlined at both the Edinburgh Fringe and Chicago Sketch Festivals.

Kelly will be joined on stage by Ashley Hern, formerly of the Oxford University Revue, and Lucy Simons, a stand-up comedienne familiar to audiences in the north-west of England.

In the course of their set, the Absurdity trio will skewer numerous features of everyday life, including (to quote the cast) 'death, divorce, dysentery, dementia and devolution'. Those with a hatred of political correctness and senior managers are also likely to find something amusing.
