Planet Mirth Presents - Tony Law: A Now Begin In Again
Saturday 6 May 2023
Fresh from a critically acclaimed run at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, neanderthal Canadian-Trinidadian Norn Iron loon Law, is taking his half-baked thoughts on the last couple of years (with a little time travel to boot) on tour.
It might not always make sense but it's always funny. Farm boy blue-collar surreal absurdity in his own very unique style. For those with a different take or taste in comedy. Wild, utterly absurd and magnetic. 'Takes post-modern stand-up to a dangerously funny new level' (Guardian). 'The King of post-modern nonsense' (Telegraph).
Praise for A Now begin In Again:
★★★★★ - Mumble Comedy
★★★★ - The Telegraph
★★★★ - On the Mic
★★★★ - Broadway World
