Sam Dodgshon Tries to Hold Your Attention for One Hour (Running Time 45 Minutes)

Very needy loser and critically acclaimed comedian Sam Dodgshon desperately tries to please you in this anarchic, interactive new show. With the help of an endless, sprawling flowchart you (the audience) choose the performer you want, control his actions and make him dance for your amusement. Whatever the show you want to see is, that’s the show this is going to be. If you don’t enjoy it, please remember that you chose it.

Past praise for Sam: 'Body-shaking laughter’ (Scotsman). ***** (Entertainment-Now.com). ‘One to watch’ (TheComedyNerd.com).

The Bureau of Silly Ideas is a leading UK outdoor arts company that has been transforming public spaces and making accessible art for over 20 years. They live in the railway arches behind Brixton station, and are dedicated not only to making quality art all around the world, but also here at home. They recently launched Club Silly - a place for creatives to get neighbourly, and a chance for us to build the community that has grown around BOSI.
