Simon Amstell will perform at Colston Hall in Bristol on Friday 10 November 2017
Following a series of critically acclaimed, sold out international tours, Simon Amstell begins his fifth stand up tour in the UK. ‘What Is This?’ promises to be a deeply personal, funny exploration of beauty, intimacy, freedom, sex and love.
Also known for his work on TV shows Carnage, Grandma’s House and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, he has won two British Comedy Awards, an RTS Award, a Broadcast Award, a Chortle Award and has been nominated for a BAFTA.
“Simon Amstell has a gift for taking a social norm and gently mocking it until it seems utterly ridiculous. Highly literate… an endearing mixture of offhanded candour and sharp wit. Such ease and understatement makes him very good company” – ?The New York Times
“The real deal” – The Guardian
Simon Amstell first made a name for himself as a television presenter, achieving notoriety fronting Channel 4’s Popworld with Miquita Oliver, and later, as the regular presenter of Never Mind the Buzzcocks on BBC 2. Having performed at the Edinburgh festival fringe for several years to sell-out audiences, Amstell left Buzzcocks to concentrate on his live performances, and has more recently been “peddling his angst-ridden Britishness” Stateside.
As well as presenting, Amstell wrote and starred in the BBC 2 sitcom Grandma’s House, where he plays a version of himself – an ex TV presenter looking for meaning in his life.
