Renowned critic Mark Kermode brings brand-new stage show to Bristol's St George's Hall on Monday 1st October
Posted on: 29 Sep 2018Renowned and popular film critic Mark Kermode will take to the stage of St George's Bristol for a nostalgic look back at his crazy but unremittingly persistent attempts to become a pop star on Monday 1st October 2018.
The gig - held to promote the release of the movie maestro's latest book, How Does It Feel? - will see him recount his tales of early youth as North London kid, making his own electric guitar and ending up recording an album at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis.
Hysterical and typically self-deprecating, Mark will track his wayward and somewhat chaotic 'other' career as a musician in a whole slew of bands, from 1970s church hall gigs and youth clubs to a live performance at the mighty Albert Hall. He also had a crack at musical theatre and stand-up comedy along the way.
Now, of course, he's a firmly established and well-respected film critic, and his evening at St George's is sure to be as insightful, heartfelt, amusing, honest, perceptive and articulate as the movies he casts his critical eye over.
Tickets cost £15 (£12 concessions) and can be purchased here. St George's Bristol is located at Great George Street (off Park Street), West End, Bristol BS1 5RR. For more information or any queries, contact the venue on 0845 40 24 001.

Jamie is a writer, blogger, journalist, critic, film fan, soundtrack nerd and all-round Bristolian good egg. He loves the music of Philip Glass, the art of Salvador Dali, the writings of Charles Bukowksi and Hunter S Thompson, the irreverence of Harry Hill, and the timeless, straw-chomping exuberance of The Wurzels. You can sometimes find him railing against a surging tide of passing cyclists, or gorging himself senseless on the Oriental delights of a Cosmos all-you-can-eat buffet.
