Simon Evans – Have we Met, Friday 29th November 7.30pm
Babbacombe Theatre, Torquay.
Simon Evans is one of the UK’s most respected and best loved comedians. Familiar from TV and radio appearances, as well as for his live tour shows and festival appearances.
He has been at the top of his game now for over twenty years, yet at this year’s Edinburgh festival was unanimously agreed to only be getting better and you get to enjoy him as he draws on James Joyce, Proust and the career of Philip Schofield to make sense of his own tangled past and possible future. Evans skilfully weaves comedy, pathos and narrowly averted cancellation into an unforgettable two hours of unique entertainment in his show, Have We Met, at the Babbacombe Theatre, Torquay on Friday 29th November at 7.30pm.
Simon’s TV credits include two appearances on BBC One’s Live at the Apollo, one on Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow, and a season of Channel 4’s Stand Up for the Week. On BBC Radio 4 his series Simon Evans Goes to Market, has had six seasons, delighting audiences with his witty and insightful take on the comedically unpromising territory of economics, all of which prove among the most popular downloads on the Sounds App. He is also a regular on Radio 4’s The News Quiz, and various other panel games, and from 1998 to 2002 wrote and hosted eight series of the news satire, The Way It Is.
Simon’s live tour shows, including the most recent Genius 2.0 have sold out theatres around the country and garnered superlative reviews from national and comedy press, and it is anticipated this new 2024 tour will encourage the same great feedback.
