Stand-up show in which comedian Adam Flood DJs a high-octane hour of comedy about escapism on a night out, touring the UK after Edinburgh Fringe.
Adam Flood brings Life and Death of the Party to Komedia on Thursday 11 March, part of the UK tour following a critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe. It's not a standard stand-up set: Flood performs over rave music, a format he describes as a fresh new way of doing things. He's a comedian from Stoke-on-Trent, and the show is built around him DJing while he delivers an hour of comedy about escapism, all set against the backdrop of a night out.
The rave music isn't just background noise; it's the engine of the whole thing. You watch while he works the decks, and the comedy runs right through it, so the energy stays high rather than dipping between jokes. The theme of escapism fits that setting well—the idea of losing yourself on a dancefloor is exactly what the show is playing with. It's a high-octane hour, and the rave element means it's as much about the atmosphere as it is about the punchlines.
It's already picked up some strong reviews from the Fringe run. Mumble Comedy called it 'one of the single cooler fringe moments I've seen in years', and The Guardian described Flood as 'a multifaceted comedy talent'. If you're used to the quiet, seated comedy of a traditional club, this is a different beast entirely—it's closer to a club night than a recital.
