LIAM WILLIAMS – CAPITALISM

LIAM WILLIAMS

CAPITALISM

plus guest

^ Upstairs ^

2014 Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Liam Williams follows his widely-acclaimed debut with a show about money. A self-reflective introduction to British comedy’s bright young thinker, Williams’ debut was a down-beat promenade through casted optimisms, and personal shortcomings. Following two sold-out London runs, a UK tour, critical acclaim, an Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer and Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination, Williams returns… If you like television he’s done a few things for that: Russell Howard’s Good News, Comedy Central at the Comedy Store, something for Channel 4. And if you’re old, he’s been on BBC Radio 4, like, three times. EDINBURGH COMEDY AWARD NOMINEE 2014 EDINBURGH BEST NEWCOMER NOMINEE 2013 “Extraordinary, a shatteringly funny set from a comic who’s not ashamed to take the business of being alive seriously.” ***** THE GUARDIAN “Williams now sounds like the voice of a generation.” **** THE INDEPENDENT “Liam Williams’s exceptional new show, delivered with marvellous moroseness, also fizzes with wit, intelligence and eloquence” **** THE TELEGRAPH “A clever and unique performer.” **** TIME OUT “His is a captivating worldview which confronts his audience and the whole notion of stand-up.” **** THE LIST Short copy: 2014 Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Liam Williams follows his widely-acclaimed debut with a show about money.
