Steve Parry: The Last Of The Famous International Amateurs



#FindYour Funny, Weird, Story

After decades of procrastination, comedy writer Steve Parry (8 Out Of 10 Cats, Live At The Apollo, Gladiators, I’m A Celebrity, Love Island) has finally turned his back on the glitzy world of mainstream TV in order to unleash his inner cult comedy legend.

The Last Of The Famous International Amateurs, is an inventive and satirical sing-a-long hour packed with stand up, bawdy characters, revolutionary rants, spoken word and maybe even some actual poetry.

Part hilarious memoir of a socialist working at the coal face of cheesy light entertainment, part surrealist treatise about age and ego’s final showdown.

This ‘permanent work in progress’ offers a unique adventure into the mind a middle-aged showbiz hack looking to assuage his TV nightmares by chasing his youthful dreams of alternative comedy stardom.

Expect a riotous and radical celebration of professional amateurism, a paean to, and piss take of the counterculture and alternative cabaret.

If nothing else, it will be the most entertaining and potentially humiliating public mid-life crisis since Huw Edwards logged into Only Fans wearing those boxer shorts. What was he thinking!?
