ABOUT THE SHOW
Perrier Comedy and Fringe First award winner Will Adamsdale @williamadamsdale presents a new autobiographical show about escape, creativity and technology. Once upon a time a washed up London writer and technophobe went off-grid in a confused lockdown relocation… only to find that the grass ain’t always greener.
The blank page stretched out like the endless fields. His only hope? His greatest enemy – technology! A story of bots, writer’s block and getting away from it all.
“An utter delight”, The Guardian on FaceTime, 2019.
“So skilled an actor, so nuanced a writer that it’s hard to tell where the line between standup and character comedy lies”, The Scotsman on Borders, 2014.
WILL ADAMSDALE WRITER AND PERFORMER
Will Adamsdale is an award-winning performer, writer and deviser. He has made six shows: Jackson’s Way, which won the Perrier Award for comedy in 2004 and was later revived for a sold-out month-long tour playing a different venue every night across London; The Receipt, which won a Fringe First award and the Total Theatre Award for Innovation at the Edinburgh Fringe 2006; The Human Computer, The Summer House, The Joke, and The Victorian in the Wall, which was a Fuel and Royal Court co-production, which toured to great acclaim. He is also an experienced actor, with roles in Richard Curtis’s The Boat That Rocked; Chris Morris’s Four Lions; Channel 4's Comedy Campus; Detroit, Steppenwolf’s production at the National Theatre; and Jack Thorne’s adaptation of Stuart: A Life Backwards.
“Adamsdale is creating a body of work that rides roughshod over the boundaries between comedy and theatre, making us laugh even as it asks the big questions” The Guardian
