DO YOU want to know a secret? Paul Foot is about to share a load with you.
The comic is going on tour this autumn with his new show, Dissolve.
In it, he promises to share what happened last year that changed his life forever.
He says that as a person and a comic he has never been so vulnerable, honest and happy.
So what did happen to him on the outskirts of Lancaster? And what has it got to do with King Tutankhamun, the House of Lords, Sir Cliff Richard, officious lollipop ladies and what Jesus might have achieved if he’d been a plumber?
He promises to reveal all in his personal, surprising and inspired stand-up offering ever.
Paul said: “I’ve re-written this quote 46 times now. In all my years of showbusiness I’ve never written a quote like this before.
“This is the most personal show I’ve ever created and the first time I’ve spoken about these things on stage.
“On 20th March 2022 something unbelievable happened to me, that I still struggle to explain. 29 years of mental health crises, childhood trauma and life-altering depression dissolved away in an instant.
“It is also, incidentally, really funny throughout. I am a comedian after all.”
Paul Foot has been on the alternative comedy circuit for more than two decades, and featured regularly on shows such as Would I Lie To You?, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
He has performed more than a dozen solo stand-up shows and built up a huge cult following of savvy comedy-goers, dubbed ‘The Guild of Paul Foot Connoisseurs, winning multiple awards in that time.
Paul Foot’s Dissolve will be performed at Reading’s South Street Arts Centre on Saturday, September 30. The show is suitable for ages 16 upwards and tickets cost £18.
