Southport Visiter

Put yourself in Clark’s shoes...

-

IT’S your last chance to see the hilarious Laurence Clark on his sell-out Independen­ce Tour at The Atkinson this weekend.

The Liverpool comic completes his tour at the Southport venue this Saturday, February 17.

Everybody seems to want their independen­ce right now – but be very careful what you wish for.

Laurence has cerebral palsy. In this new show he challenges the audience to laugh at stuff he can’t do – guilt-free.

With tales of adolescenc­e, love and Harry Potter, he discovers no man is an island – except the Isle of Man.

He recently performed in the Scottish dance theatre production Purposeles­s Movements, where the whole cast had cerebral palsy and sometimes none of them could understand one another.

Actor Daniel Radcliffe has said that he prepared to play a character with cerebral palsy by studying a video of Laurence.

Star of BBC One’s We Won’t Drop The Baby; Shortlist magazine’s Funniest New Comedian and runner-up in the Amused Moose Edinburgh Laughter Awards, Laurence is an internatio­nally-acclaimed comic, writer and actor.

His observatio­nal, political stand-up and filmed stunts demonstrat­e the endearing naivety and ridiculous­ness of human behaviour by seeing the world through his eyes with humour and warmth.

Laurence Clark – Independen­ce can be seen at The Atkinson on Saturday, February 17 from 8pm tickets are £12 / £10 concession­s.

You can book your tickets online at www.theatkinso­n.co.uk or via the box office on 01704 533333.
