Perrier Comedy and Fringe First winner Will Adamsdale presents a new autobiographical show about technology, creativity and escape.
Once upon a time, a washed up London writer and technophobe went off-grid in a confused lockdown relocation… only to find that the grass ain’t always greener.
The blank page stretched out like the endless fields. His only hope? His greatest enemy – technology!
A story of bots, writer’s block and getting away from it all.
Following a hugely successful presentation at the Barbican as part of the work in progress festival FuelFest last year, Will Adamsdale is taking his latest work on the road. It will tour venues in South West England in November this year.
Will Adamsdale is an award-winning performer, writer and deviser. He has made six shows: Jackson’s Way, which won the Perrier Award for comedy in 2004 and was later revived for a sold-out month-long tour playing a different venue every night across London; The Receipt, which won a Fringe First award and the Total Theatre Award for Innovation at the Edinburgh Fringe 2006; The Human Computer, The Summer House, The Joke, and The Victorian in the Wall, which was a Fuel and Royal Court co-production, and toured to great acclaim.
He is also an experienced actor, with roles in Richard Curtis’s The Boat That Rocked; Chris Morris’s Four Lions; Channel 4's Comedy Campus; Detroit, Steppenwolf’s production at the National Theatre; and Jack Thorne’s adaptation of Stuart: A Life Backwards.
