Larry Dean: Hellbent

Larry Dean brings his new stand-up show Hellbent to the Swindon Arts Centre on Friday 20 November, starting at 19:30. It's one of 42 dates on a UK and Ireland tour, so Swindon gets a look in alongside a long run of stops across the country.

Dean is a Glasgow-born comedian who's spent a fair bit of time on the bigger stages. He's been nominated three times for the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show and was a cast member of Saturday Night Live UK. You've probably seen him on Live at the Apollo, QI, and The Royal Variety Performance, and The Telegraph named him one of the 50 best comedians of the 21st century.

Hellbent is his new show, and it draws on a few specific changes in his own life. He's a father and a recently married man, and he describes himself as still 'emotionally feral'. The set tackles growing up — or, as he puts it, his determination to avoid it — and married life, building on previous stand-up that has played to sold-out audiences across the UK and internationally. It's new material, so this is one of the first chances to hear it live.

Tickets start from £27.30, and the show runs at 19:30 at the Swindon Arts Centre.
