HITTING FUNNY

Hitting Funny is a provocatively filthy one-man show about a stand-up comic on the ropes. Comedian Chris Rich pushes humour beyond its acceptable limits in the search for an authentic voice. A dark, funny, twisted, moving play, exploring what we choose to laugh at and why. Serious comic theatre for adults only.

From sport to sex, from paedophilia to coprophilia, from Al Qaeda to President Blair – join Chris Rich as he embarks upon his first major tour, breaking in material for his hilarious new show, Things I Don’t Understand. Already several times nominated for the Overpriced Fizzy Water Prize, Chris is certain that this will be the show that finally breaks him into the big time.

Chris is a comic on the edge… Will tonight be the night he falls off?

Contains explicit material of an adult nature.

Philip Ralph who plays Chris rich is one of six nominees for the Best Actor Award At Edinburgh Festival 2005. The Stage Awards for Acting Excellence at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe have been a highlight of the event since 1995. The winners will be chosen by a panel of festival critics from The Stage, who will have reviewed more than 300 professional productions. The results will be announced on August 28.

Hitting Funny was 4 stars in 'The List' at Edinburgh Festival 2005.
