Tales of Whatever Present Andy Barr & Tom Mayhew

Tales of Whatever are delighted to welcome Andy Barr performing one of our favourite shows from Edinburgh 2019. In fact, we liked the show so much that we're suspending our usual true storytelling vibe to bring you this wonderful slice of madness. Then we're immediately reinstating it for Tom Mayhew's brilliant critically acclaimed 2019 hour I, Tom Mayhew.

Andy Barr - The Ruby
With his father recently deceased, minor aristocrat Andy Barr stands to inherit his fortune, his estate, his magnificent ruby and its terrible curse.

Andy Barr is an award-winning comic, an 'alt-comedy favourite' (Time Out) and an 'off-key delight' (Skinny) whose 'comic timing and gestures are impeccable' (★★★★ (List)), Tim Key's Pick of the Fringe (iNews, 2017), not to mention 'a charming late-night curiosity' (Chortle.co.uk).

Tom Mayhew - I, Tom Mayhew
This is a story of rejections, the Job Centre, being working class, and fighting for your place in the world. With lots of jokes. It explores the reality of growing up poor, being long-term unemployed, and being someone in their 20s in austerity Britain.

Tom has written for The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4) and NewsJack (BBC Radio 4 Extra), but still lives with his parents. This is a unique story that is personal and political, and very, very funny.
‘Quite simply an absolute gem of a performance .’ ★★★★★ EDIT
'His jokes are punchy, sharp and forthcoming. Despite the often weighty subject matter, laughs are never too far apart.’ ★★★★ The Skinny

Doors 7pm. Tickets £8 adv or £10 on the door
