Description:

A spellbinding comedy-cabaret-poetry extravaganza, blending sharp wordplay, visual gags and mind-boggling trivia into an unmissable hour of laughs, learning and surprises that subverts genre and expectations. Performed by neurospicy Renaissance man, Ben Dali, the show draws on a life spanning many careers, from gameshow host to stage hypnotist to primary teacher. Highlights include a journey through English's finest Humdinger Words; innocent childhood poems juxtaposed with depraved adult sequels; and a visual comedy treat comparing country outlines to their outlandish doppelgängers. Including insights into hypnosis and genuine improvised rhyming mentalism. Designed for the intellectually curious.
