Stand-up show by Paul Foot, winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award 2026, in which he explores optimism and wonder in uncertain times.
Paul Foot brings his latest show, The Future, to Gloucester Guildhall on Friday 30 April 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's a surreal, uplifting hour built on the idea that optimism and wonder stay within reach even when things feel uncertain, and it blends his eccentric observations with the freewheeling imagination and storytelling he's known for.
Foot is a pioneering alt-comedy hero, a regular on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, Would I Lie To You? and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. He was voted BBC Comedian Of The Year, won an Open Mic Award and was a Perrier Newcomer Nominee. Billed as a 'camp crusader', he's known for pedantry, bluff and innuendo-ridden rants, and Noel Fielding once described his routines as 'like jazz clusters, loose hammocks, choked to the brim with jokes and ideas'.

The Future isn't new to the stage: it played at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe, where Foot won the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show. So this is the one that took the top prize last summer, now touring through the provinces. Tickets are £17 standard and £15 for concessions, with the show starting at 7:30pm at the Guildhall.
