Richard Herring - Hitler Moustache
Reclaiming Chaplin’s moustache for comedy, the star of The Headmaster’s Son and 90s double act Lee and Herring muses on iconography, whether racists are closer than Liberals to believing that all people are the same and why an innocent square inch of facial hair as taken the blame for Nazism.
“A beautifully crafted and thought-provoking show”.
 Sunday Telegraph.
“Superbly constructed and wickedly clever.”
The Observer
“Stimulating, passionate and thoroughly entertaining.”
The Times.

JACK WHITEHALL: LIVE
At just twenty-one years old, Jack Whitehall has made a remarkable impact upon the comedy world. In August 2009, he was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards for his debut solo Fringe show, Jack Whitehall: Nearly Rebellious. The show received rave reviews and completely sold out, with an extra date added due to public demand. With a host of competition titles and an array of live appearances under his belt, this so-called ‘newcomer’ recently hosted Never Mind the Buzzcocks and last year he co-wrote and hosted TNT Show on Channel 4. In 2009 he hosted Celebrity Big Brother’s Big Mouth for its three week run live on E4 and other recent television appearances include You Have Been Watching, Would I Lie to You? , 8 Out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week.
