NIGEL PLANER: YOUNG ONCE – A LIFE LESS HEAVY

5 July @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
£20

The Fez Comedy Club in association with Edge Street Live presents Nigel Planer in Young Once – A Life Less Heavy.

Nigel Planer, beloved as Neil the hippy from The Young Ones and a founding figure of the 80’s alternative comedy scene, brings his memoir Young Once to life in a warm, sharply funny live show of storytelling.

From the wild early days at The Comedy Store to the chaotic brilliance of The Comic Strip Presents, Filthy Rich & Catflap, and beyond – to West End musicals and hit pop records – Nigel will share a trove of outrageous tales of the backstage chaos that shaped a generation of comedy: from 20-foot-éclair-related injuries to gatecrashing raves with Robin Williams, Top of the Pops and Band Aid, to auditioning for a stony-faced Robert De Niro.

Alongside the laughs, he will reflect on the bittersweet moments behind the scenes – the friendships, fame and rivalries, and the winding path of a creative life.

Woven throughout the show is a moving, often mischievous account of the long, on-off-on-again love story between Nigel and his wife Roberta, and a life lived somewhere between the footlights and the fallout.

Full of dry wit, theatrical flair, and a knack for finding humour in both disaster and triumph, don’t miss the once-young Nigel as he offers a wildly entertaining and gloriously sideways glimpse into his quietly remarkable career, in a show that is part performance, part confession, and all heart.

Books will be available for sale and for signing after the show.

Suitable for ages 14+

Doors 7pm
