Daniel Foxx - How Lovely

Daniel Foxx brings his stand-up show How Lovely to The Quad Theatre on Saturday 19 September, from 19:30 to 21:30. If you've come across his comedy online, you'll recognise the name: he's best known for his viral videos, which have found a huge audience among women and gay people. Rolling Stone described him as 'utterly hilarious and effortlessly charismatic'.

How Lovely is the show he's taking on the road. It follows him as he navigates dating in his thirties, a Le Creuset addiction, and twelve-step skincare routines, all while trying to emanate love and light. It's that specific kind of comedy that works because it's built on the small, recognisable things — the sort of domestic obsessions and dating mishaps that feel close to home. The title itself, How Lovely, does a fair bit of the heavy lifting, hinting at the sort of polite, slightly strained optimism he's working with throughout.

Foxx is an award-winning comic, and this is a full-length set rather than a short spot, so there's plenty of room for the stories to breathe. If you've only seen the clips, this is the chance to hear them as part of a proper show, with the new material and the connective tissue that doesn't always make it into a viral video. It's a Saturday night slot, which makes it an easy one to build a proper evening around.

The Quad Theatre is at Plymouth Marjon University, Derriford Road, Plymouth, PL6 8BH. The show runs from 19:30 to 21:30 on Saturday 19 September, so you're in and out in two hours.
