Who in the world is there that can you can still trust? It seems like nobody is talking sense any more. Thankfully, amidst all this post-truth, post-Brexit, post-Trump hysteria, YOU know exactly what’s going on. You’re right. You’re strong. You’re beautiful. You can see through the madness. And the good thing is, everyone agrees with you. Everybody you speak to is on the same page. It seems so simple.
It’s been a scary year, and the antidote can only be found in a safe space. A place far away from the mainstream, the clickbait articles, the YouTube comments, hashtags, trolls and filtered Facebook news feeds. Melbourne International Comedy Festival is crying out for a show that cuts through the lies and gives the people what they want. We need a room where democracy rules (but only if you want it to). Welcome to The Echo Chamber.
In an attempt to make audience satisfaction absolutely guaranteed, Paul Richards will gauge the reaction of those in attendance each night, using the results to shape a completely unique stand-up performance every time. In a sea of polarising, highly-opinionated, political shows, he will tell you exactly what you want to hear.
Paul has lived in Melbourne for four years, quickly establishing himself as a mainstay of ‘The Big Hoo-Haa’ improv collective. A virtual ever-present of their regular weekly shows, he has also featured in their last four festival seasons: ‘Gladiators’, ‘Haunted House’, ‘Cliffhanger’ and ‘Danger Hour 2’. The Echo Chamber is his solo festival debut.
The production opens on Monday 3rd April and runs for eleven nights at 10:00pm. The season is limited, so bookings are recommended.
