Following his success at the Edinburgh Festival – full houses and 4-star reviews – the Award-Winning comedian, who supported Ricky Gervais on tour and starred in all four series of the Radio 4 sitcom ALONE, is now touring his critically acclaimed stand-up show.
In the show, Bennett talks about the death of his father who had dementia, his mother’s suicide attempt and his own battle with depression. Yes, it is a comedy, honestly!
He will also look at other things he regrets happening throughout his life, including:
- Telling a girl on a first date that he loved her
- Sir Anthony Hopkins no longer speaking to him.
- Becoming the first major victim of Identity Theft in the UK and ending up penniless and homeless.
This is Bennett’s most personal show ever. The question is, will he regret doing it…?
Book early to enjoy disappointment.
