Paul Foot

Paul Foot is playing the Reading Concert Hall on Saturday 24 April 2027, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a solo stand-up set, and the night was moved to the concert hall from the Hexagon Theatre.

Foot bills himself as a 'camp crusader', and his act is built on pedantry, bluff and innuendo-ridden rants that have made him an audience favourite. Critics have described his routines as 'like jazz clusters, loose hammocks, choked to the brim with jokes and ideas'. If you've seen him before, you'll know the sort of thing he does: he takes a small, pedantic point and stretches it out into a long, winding rant, often with a bit of bluff and a fair amount of innuendo along the way.

He's been around the circuit for a while and has the credits to show for it. He was voted BBC Comedian Of The Year, won an Open Mic Award, and was a Perrier Newcomer Nominee. Later, he reached the final of series six of NBC's Last Comic Standing. His television and radio work covers a wide range: The Infinite Monkey Cage on BBC Radio 4, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Would I Lie To You, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, NBC's The Morning After and Sky Atlantic's Set List.

Tickets are £18.70, which includes the booking fee. The venue is the Reading Concert Hall (Reading Town Hall) on Blagrave Street, RG1 1QH, and the show kicks off at 7:30pm on Saturday 24 April.
