Swindon comedian Sam Michael brings his debut solo stand-up show, 'World's Oldest Man', to the Swindon Arts Centre.
Sam Michael brings his debut solo comedy show, World's Oldest Man, to The Arts Centre on Thursday 19 November. He's a Swindon native, so this is a homecoming of sorts — he's bringing his first full hour back to the town's Arts Centre.
The title comes from a bit of advice he says he got from the Guinness World Records' Oldest Man, a tip that he claims made him rethink everything from love and health to Butlins Big Weekenders. The show itself is a warm, self-deprecating hour about missing his chance to seize the day when he was younger — less 'Carpe Diem', more 'It can wait until tomorrow' — and his increasingly tragic attempts to make up for it before he hits 40.
It's not his first time on a big stage. Michael has supported Al Murray, Dom Joly and Matt Richardson on their national tours, so he's used to playing the support slot. This is his first time taking the full hour for himself. The reviews have been kind: Chortle called it an 'enjoyable hour in easy-going company' and BBC Bristol described it as a 'comedy masterclass'.
