Following the huge success of his critically-acclaimed sold-out UK tour, Ben Elton is bringing his new show Authentic Stupidity to The Hexagon this November.
The ‘godfather of modern stand-up’ took a 15-year hiatus before returning to live comedy in 2019 and now he’s going back on the road once more.
Ben said: “Since my last tour, a whole new existential threat has emerged to threaten humanity: apparently artificial intelligence is going to destroy us all!
“Well, I reckon our real problem isn’t artificial intelligence, it’s good old-fashioned authentic stupidity. Forget AI, it’s AS we need to be worrying about.”
Ben Elton first exploded into the national consciousness back in the 1980s, hosting Channel 4’s groundbreaking Saturday Live, and he’s been setting the standard for gag-filled, taboo-busting, tonsil-rattling, mind-expanding stand-up comedy ever since.
Tickets for Authentic Stupidity cost £35 per person and are on sale now, available from https://whatsonreading.com or by calling the Hexagon Box Office on 0118 960 6060. Recommended for ages 16 and up.
