CANCELLED - Liam Withnail: Big Strong Boy
When Liam was 18, he moved from Dagenham to Edinburgh and didn’t tell his parents.
Acclaimed comedian Liam Withnail returns with a brand-new show about leaving home, coming to terms with who your parents are, and what to do when a personal trainer slides into your DM’s.
Liam has over 10 million TikTok/Instagram views and his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe show ‘Chronic Boom’ was a sellout success, receiving widespread critical acclaim and racking up sixteen 4 and 5 star reviews, making it one of the best reviewed comedy shows of that year.
★★★★ “A lovely story about misfit adolescence, family love, the guilt we carry – and redemption” The Guardian (UK)
★★★★“Gorgeously funny, richly resonant” The Times (UK)
★★★★ "One of the finest comic storytellers in the business” The Scotsman (UK)
