Raul Kohli offers up a double bill of improv and stand-up
The Stand Comedy Club has a soft spot for improv…but it also enjoys a bit of pre-planned comedy as well. Raul Kohli presents both disciplines in one gig at the venue on Monday 25th April as he tours his shows The Kohli Bible and Raul Kohli Makes It Up As He Goes Along.
The latter is an hour of improvisation that is based entirely on audience interaction. If you’re looking to be so engaged with a show that you are part of it, then this one is for you – be prepared speak up and laugh at yourself in a performance where there is no guarantee on what you will see.
Part two, The Kohli Bible, looks at all kinds of belief and how Kohli found God, a performance he planned to share in 2019. Now, in a post pandemic work, he feels even more than belief of many kinds are rational – from Christians, Flat Earthers and conspiracy of every kind, no kind of faith is off limits!
Having won considerable acclaim for previous shows Newcastle Brown Male and All My Heroes Are Dead, In Jail Or Touched Up Your Nan, which delve into his unique take on ethnicity, culture and class, this intelligent and humorous ‘two-for-one’ show is not to be missed!
