New Art Club: Quiet Act Of Destruction (New Art Club)
By Anna Eberts | Published on Wednesday 31 August 2011
Undoubtedly the funniest comedy act I have seen in the last five years, you couldn’t have slapped the smile from my face. Comedian Tom Roden moves to a quaint English village and tells us a story in his “pompous and overblown fashion” of what happens when zany Pete Shenton shows up for a visit, and all hell breaks loose. This show was effortlessly polished and took many risks with the audience throughout, and everyone participated; never have I seen a more eclectic group willingly throw food at one another or pretend to be woodland animals. These two were having as much fun as the audience. Hail comedy lovers, this one is certainly the best of the best
