Ben Van der Velde - Barbarians
by Furry Four Foot Productionscomedy
My third (and by some distance best) solo stand-up show about how our primal instincts can get us into trouble in the modern world.
about the production
Thanks to Genghis Khan's friskiness we're all 8% barbarian, but were we ever that civilised in the first place? A pretty sobering thought as you play on your iPhone whilst sipping a skinny mocha-latte. Big questions require big answers, and so long as you don't equate big with accurate, you're in for a treat! ‘A sharp and crafty gagsmith with witty obtuse takes on an impressively wide range of topics bringing flair and confidence to them all.’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue.’ (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine). ‘Highly promising. An accomplished comic.’ (Time Out).

“A sharp and crafty gagsmith, with wittily obtuse takes on…an impressively wide range of topics…bringing flair and confidence to them all.”
“He must have one of the highest jokes-per-hour counts in Edinburgh this month.”
“On flights of fancy, he pushes ideas to extremes and displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we’re swept up.” Fest
I've got a lot of experience in improv comedy and comedy for kids, so would be more than happy to provide an afternoon workshop for schools/kids on half term.
