Andrew Roper - Superhero Secret Origins

Comedy

SUPERHERO SECRET ORIGINS - The interactive comic book knowledge bomb. Part stand-up, part lecture, part madness, all superhero! This year's show is a Wonder-full look at "Women in Comics!" Direct from Edinburgh 2015 & 2016.

Here’s a presentation full of things you thought you already knew. As much about the creators and the times as the characters, it’s a show for geeks and novices alike.

This year - WOMEN IN COMICS!

"Women in Comics" tracks the history of female Superheroes (heroines?) from the 30’s to the present day. A lot has changed… And a lot hasn’t. With Wonder Woman about to hit the big screen, now is the time to tell the full story, and what a story it is!

"His enthusiasm for the subject matter is infectious and his level of knowledge is staggering, if you even have a passing interest in comics and superheroes or the latest comic book movies then you should definitely check him out" ★★★★ Shortcom Edinburgh 2016
