Stephen and Hamlet: Blind and Mad

Let’s face it, we’re all nuts. When you’re a middle-aged, blind obsessive compulsive, though, life can be particularly odd, not to mention confusing and more than a little rude.

Having previously traipsed around Edinburgh, Hove and Plymouth, London’s gentlest comedian, Stephen Portlock, accompanied by his impeccably well behaved dog Hamlet, and bringing a cuddly Minion in tow, returns to Brighton to leave residents and visitors bewildered, befuddled and bemused as he delivers a very ramshackle guide through the highways and byways of life’s weirdness, exploring his ambivalent feelings about identity politics, and musing on how we can just learn to be nicer to one-another.

Sweet, sometimes filthy, often embarrassing and surprisingly often true, this is one sentimental journey you will definitely remember.

“Excellent” (Ultimate Radio)

“Witty… bawdy… has the audience in stitches” (Camden New Journal)
