Stand-up show by Simon Brodkin, the comedian behind 'Lee Nelson's Well Good Show', at the Regent Theatre.
Simon Brodkin is playing the Regent Theatre on Friday 6 November, his Unleashed tour stopping here in Stoke-on-Trent. If you've come across his name but aren't quite sure where to place him, he's the comedian who first made his mark as Lee Nelson, the character who showered FIFA president Sepp Blatter with cash and handed Prime Minister Theresa May her P45. He later took that persona to a smash-hit BBC comedy series, Lee Nelson's Well Good Show.
For those who remember the Lee Nelson era, it's worth keeping in mind that Brodkin is as much a professional hoaxer as he is a stand-up. The character was built on that kind of public prank—the sort of thing that works because it catches people off guard in the real world, rather than on a stage. Unleashed is a stand-up show, so the format is a bit different from the prank videos that put him on the map, but that same sensibility runs through it.
