Returning to the Cambridge Fringe after their acclaimed 2024 Edinburgh debut are award-winning comedians Chris Ford & John Pape with their brand-new, split bill stand-up show, Bent Double (Up-to-Date & Superior!). Max Turner Finalist, King Gong Finalist, and New Act Winner Chris Ford was once London's campiest homophobic preacher, a teenage zealot in the Jehovah's Witness faith. Strap in for a hilarious, heart-warming joyride through Chris's teenage wedding, his escape from religious dogma and his chaotic early steps into the gay world. Then brace yourself as he takes you into the trenches of his NHS nursing career with painfully funny stories from A&E. Finally, join Chris on his journey of healing (and rediscovery of being a 'slut) as he navigates the ever-evolving gay scene after the end of a decade-long relationship. Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2024 Finalist and winner of the West End (Old) New Act of the Year 2023, John Pape brings his unique brand of alternative, character-driven comedy. Described by Chortle as a hard act to follow, John delivers deranged anecdotes, outrageous self-aggrandizement, and hilariously misguided attempts to dominate the audience all while rocking high-waisted trousers and occult costume jewellery. Small ears, thin wrists, a beard and boundless imagination make John a wonderfully complex comic force, who employs fantasy and delusion to make sense of the absurdities of human society, the state of the nation and the gays. Get ready for a night of unfiltered laughter, outrageous stories, and unforgettable performances. Bent Double (Up-to-Date and Superior) is queer stand-up comedy at its most audacious!
