Pioneering alt-comedy hero and star of Cats Does Countdown Paul Foot is back on
tour with a brand new stand-up show.
Remember when people were excited for the future? With visions of jetpacks,
friendly robots wheeling around, and solar-powered bidets. Well, we don’t have
visions like that anymore, do we?
But the universe is not over. The light has not gone out. Here’s a candle in the dark.
Contagious and whispering. And you can take it with you when you leave.
As seen on Would I Lie To You? , Never Mind the Buzzcocks and 8 Out of 10 Cats
Does Countdown .
