 You've heard of the
'War on Terror' - well we think that's a bit
much.
This year the Edinburgh Fringe will become the stage for an epic
battle… a War on Worry. More
prevalent in our society than terror, bird flu, immigrants, or Noel Edmonds, worry seeps
into every crack in our psyche, and causes us to look over our shoulder rather than ahead
to our future. This year stand-up comic Gareth Richards and performance poet Will Stopha
will join forces to fight this enemy of us all.
Covering subjects as varied as hoodies and swans, families and
branding, the environment and plastic bags, they will use Gareth’s punch-lines and
Will’s power to rhyme words with other words, to combat worry and all its foul
minions.
 This year Gareth was a finalist and third place winner of the
prestigious Hackney Empire new act of the year competition. Gareth’s sharp and
surreal, quick-fire comedy is the perfect companion to Will Stopha’s energetic,
hip-hop-tinged spoken word, which he has performed all over London and the UK.
‘War on Worry’
promises to be a fantastic show as Gareth’s comedy and Will’s
rhymes meld together seamlessly to bring you an unstoppable torrent of enjoyment. Failing
that, Gareth will do some jokes and Will’ll do some poems, which will be lovely
… so no need to worry. |
