Nick Elleray: Don't Bring a Smile to a Frown Fight

'Life-affirming', 'wildly physical' and 'apt to induce wonder in the viewer': these are all phrases Nick Elleray has used to describe Cirque de Soleil.

Since exploding onto the London comedy scene in the first part of the second decade of the first century of the current millennium, Nick has been seen as a comedian's comedian, a niece's uncle and a landlord's tenant. Many attempt to follow the path he has trod. Most of them succeed (it's actually quite a well-trodden path with clear signs and good facilities). But all agree that the real Nick Elleray experience can't be appreciated without at least one of the five senses in working order.

In this show Nick will talk about biscuits, laziness and testosterone, amongst other things.

"An underappreciated purveyor of quality downbeat comedy. Nick Elleray is a classy act"

- Steve Bennett, Chortle

"Time and money spent on Nick Elleray is time and money well spent. He's great."
