Joseph Morpurgo: Highlander 70

Critically acclaimed, multi-genre comedian Joseph Morpurgo returns with his first new show in nine years.

A decade ago, Joseph discovered something in a car boot sale. Something old, something ordinary, something mundane. But all is not as it seems. Is it ever? In Highlander 70, “the UK’s foremost alchemist of “found” comedy and irreverent, cross-media mash-up humour” (Scotsman) excavates the past and brings the audience along for the ride, with the help of some physical media, animation… and, of course, the good folks at Jim’s Steak and Spaghetti House.

'That rare thing, a high-concept, unashamedly arty production that also has entire rooms laughing'
★★★★★ Evening Standard

'A rich, multilayered comedy experience, that’s both retro and cutting edge, and keeps whirling away in your mind long after it’s finished'
