We The People! Putting The World To Rights with Leslie Bloom

Leslie Bloom brings her character comedy to the Brighton Playhouse on Sunday 1 November, with the show running from 19:00 to 21:00. It's called We The People! Putting The World To Rights with Leslie Bloom, and the description puts it as a comedy show to warm the cold, lighten the dark and wrap you in laughter.

Bloom is a Brighton character comedy icon, and the character she takes the stage as is a mother, a lover and a parkour instructor for the over 65s — the kind of no-nonsense aunty everyone should have. She appears in a neon blue velour tracksuit, and the show is described as a one-woman cosy good news story. If you've seen her before, you'll know the character is built on that specific mix of maternal warmth and a direct, no-nonsense way of looking at things.

Joining her as a special guest is Kitty Cassis, a Northern powerhouse, cabaret host and glamorous gossip monger whose style has been compared to early Caroline Aherne. Between Bloom's cosy, tracksuit-wearing persona and Cassis's more high-energy, gossip-driven cabaret, the two bring quite different energies to the same stage.

It's a Sunday night at the Playhouse, so it's an easy one to fit in. Doors open at 18:30, and the show runs from 19:00 to 21:00. Tickets are pay-what-you-can, so you can decide what you want to pay for the night.
