Three weeks to go! Stephen K Amos to bring BEFORE AND LAUGHTER to Southend
 
Stephen K Amos has returned to the stand-up circuit with his show 
BEFORE AND LAUGHTER
The tour reaches the Palace Theatre, Southend-on-Sea on Wednesday, 13th October

‘Deliciously deft…we roared at ad-libbing that was first rate throughout…you’ll leave the show smiling’  THE TIMES
 
‘A note-perfect hour’  METRO

It may be nearly two years later than planned – but who cares? How would you feel about joining Stephen for a beautiful night of fun, laughter and putting the world to rights? Or more importantly, how could you refuse!

In 2010 the world was in a sorry state. Fast-forward 11 years and everything’s still going downhill. Stephen has had his own share of highs and lows too. And when the world gives him lemons, he adds gin, tonic, ice and a healthy dose of humour. So forget the divisions and discord, and immerse yourself in an hour of bridge-building laughter to welcome the (hopeful) end of lockdowns!
 
Stephen is a BAFTA nominated and RTS award winning writer, broadcaster, actor and comedian.  He has had sell out tours for over 10 years, both in the UK and abroad.
