Simon Evans is Staring at the Sun - Thursday 8th October 2026 at 8pm
Simon Evans is Back! Waaaay back
With growing evidence that we are living in a Computer Simulation and a pretty glitchy, off-brand simulation at that and the approaching watershed of the AI Singularity looming like a weirdly pixelated cumulus-nimbus on the horizon, BBC Radio 4 stalwart and veteran of a quarter century of highly acclaimed stand-up comedy Simon Evans is squinting at an uncertain future, and revisiting the blue remembered hills of his youth.
The analogue world of hitch-hiking, pub bets and hedge porn. Of being able to get properly lost. And also pondering the great thinkers and mystics of the past who had, it seems, the same doubts and misgivings about reality, back when an adjustable sandal passed for cutting-edge tech.
Suitable for those aged 14 years and above
Tickets: Advance 20.00 On the door on the night 24.00
NB Any similarity of Doll in package to Patrick Stewart is coincidental. No refunds.
'A masterclass' ★★★★★ (The Scotsman). 'Outstanding' ★★★★ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Dynamite' ★★★★ (The Times).
