Stand-up show in which Michael Spicer, the creator of 'The Room Next Door', satirises current political and world events through sketches, short films and stories.
Michael Spicer brings his satirical stage show Hope All's Well to Salisbury Arts Centre on Saturday 7 November, part of a UK tour. If you've come across him online, you'll know him as the man behind The Room Next Door, the award-winning viral hit that put him on the map. This is a full evening of his work, and it's a bit more than a stand-up set.
Hope All's Well takes a satirical look at current political and world events, and it doesn't stick to one format. Spicer mixes sketches, short films and stories, so the night moves between live performance and screen. He draws on characters from his BBC Radio 4 show No Room and brings along some old friends, so it's a bit of a crossover between his radio work and the stage. The whole thing runs for about an hour and 50 minutes, which is a fair chunk of an evening, and it's advised for ages 16 and over.
It's been getting a good reception on the road, with four-star reviews from The Guardian and The Daily Mail, and Radio Times calling him a 'huge comedy talent'. If you're into political satire that doesn't just rely on a microphone and a stool, this is right up that alley. The Salisbury date is one stop on a wider UK tour, so it's one of the few chances to catch it in the city.
