MITCH BENN
UK TOUR 2022
IT'S ABOUT TIME
18th September 2022
Palace Theatre, Westcliff
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once”
Albert Einstein

"Time you enjoy wasted is not time wasted" John Lennon
Mitch Benn embarks on his first tour in three years and it's about time.  If it feels like the past is catching up with us and the future isn’t what it used to be, then fear not!  With clock in one hand and guitar in the other, this show will help you look and laugh at time in a whole new way.

Described by The Times as "the country's leading musical satirist", Mitch was a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4's The Now Show for more than a decade.  His critically acclaimed Edinburgh Show Mitch Benn Is The 37th Beatle was broadcast on BBC Radio 4  and, following on from its success, a further three specials were commissioned on music icons  Bob Dylan, David Bowie and Elvis - The Freewheelin Mitch Benn, Mitch Benn Is The Fat Pink Duke and Mitch Benn Has Left The Building. He co-presented with Harry Shearer BBC Radio 2's Anatomy Of A Guitar and presented Spank The Plank for BBC Radio 4.  

Most recent TV and radio appearances include BBC 1's Celebrity Mastermind and Celebrity University Challenge (he won the former and lost the latter!) and Neil Gaiman's Good Omens and With Great Pleasure on BBC Radio 4.  He writes a weekly column for The New European and is author of the Terra trilogy of Science Fiction novels, the third of which, Terra's War, was published last year.
