A satirical comedy show about the internet (with music)With over 70 millions views across his digital platforms, Will Sebag-Montefiore brings his sharp musical, comedic and satirical prowess to the tangible realm of the stage.An hour of stand-up, music, characters and impressions all about the worst people on social media. If you’re a fan of Andrew Tate or Nigel Farage probably give this one a miss.“The only way to justify the amount of time I am spending online is to make a show about it. An hour of songs, sketches and characters in neatly packaged sections so I can turn it all into clips to put online to sell more tickets to shows at which I will make more clips to put online. This next bit will be in third-person even though it’s me writing it but that way it sounds more professional.”Will Sebag-Montefiore is an actor and comedian you may have heard alongside Olivia Colman in the 2024 remake of Green Wing or in BBC Radio 4‘s sketch show POV. He is a regular guest on Rosie Holt’s Noncensored podcast, was murdered in Endeavour (ITV), has performed Shakespeare alongside Mark Rylance in Westminster Abbey with Shakespeare’s Globe and won Most Valued Player at a Primary School Football camp in 2001 (he was bad at football but people quite liked him).His satirical videos have been shared by the likes of Adrian Lester, Owen Jones, Dermot O’Leary, Dawn Butler MP, Lorraine Kelly and, unfortunately, Joey Barton. Will is deeply ashamed of that last one but, look, a retweet’s a retweet. “sensationally funny” ★★★★1/2 Quintessential Review“upbeat and entertaining at every turn” Chortle★★★★ Mervyn Stutter’s Pick of the Fringe“getting together for a shared laugh at the state of the world has a cathartic effect […] a job the gregarious Sebag-Montefiore does with consummate skill” ChortlePraise for his sketch group Just These Please: “Gags are packed tight, and as always, the performance is faultless" ★★★★ Chortle "Tightly written and packed with jokes […] had the audience in stitches." ★★★★ The Wee Review “Superb lineup of writing and performing talent” ★★★★★ The Arts Desk “Countless highlights [...] talented foursome [...] consistently sharp” ★★★★★ ThreeWeeks "Tight hilarious hour of sketch comedy […] Excellent writing" ★★★★ Beyond The Joke
