Jack Rooke
BAFTA-winning writer and recovering spoken-word artist Jack Rooke (Creator of Hulu / C4’s Big Boys) brings back his debut comedy-theatre show ‘Good Grief’, a decade on from it launching his career.
Featuring the original show (co-written with his 80-year old Nan Sicely) and some present day musings, this retrospective further explores grief, ambition, being a class traitor, milking having a dead dad for personal / professional gain, the innocence of writing just for oneself before the interference of "telly w*nkers", and the palpable regret of his own decline into becoming said "telly w*nker".
Directed by Gabriel Bisset-Smith (now also a telly w*nker).
Age Recommendation: 16+
Content Warning: this show may contain potentially triggering stories around grief, suicide and Geri leaving the Spice Girls in May 1998.
Runtime: 110 minutes (inc. interval)
