SHEDDING LIGHT ON
EDWARD ACZEL
COMEDY
Award-winning performer Edward Aczel, described by The Guardian as
“Britain’s greatest living anti-comedian”, has been equally confusing and
delighting his audiences since 2005. This December he returns to Cardiff’s
Chapter Arts Centre with a new show about giving up showbiz and finding
meaning in a meaningless universe.
In Edward Aczel: Lives In A Meaningless Shed the 46-year-old comedian makes
people laugh without even saying a joke. The master of anti-comedy makes the
apparently unskilled into an art and hilariously takes the audience through the
lifelong hunt for meaning. His soul-searching is taking him from the green hills
of Middle England, to conversations between his emotional and rational selves.
The show, which has sold out at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013 and Soho
Theatre London, is an hour of awkwardness and hesitancy which, for some
reason, works very well. VS
