Summary

"You have to believe there's a power greater than yourself"

Marcus Brigstocke is a writer, actor, presenter and performer. A fixture on TV, radio and the Edinburgh Fringe, Marcus’ live performances sell out across the country. His book God Collar, focused on the 'God-shaped hole' that opened up in his life following the death of his best friend, and explored his issues surrounding faith. His new podcast, hosted alongside his wife Rachel Parris, is called How Was It For You? It’s the show where everything (yes everything) gets a star rating out of 5 – from the bizarre to the inane to the heartfelt.

And if you missed it...

Big weird announcement! We Can Be Weirdos is taking to the stage, for a live show! Along with a panel of stand-up comedians and academics, We Can Be Weirdos Live will be a night that combines comedy, PowerPoint, and cursed objects with freewheeling chat. It promises to be a night to ignite the suppressed bit of batsh*t in you. Come join the club, and unleash your inner weirdo.

***13th May at the Underbelly Boulevard***
