David 'Dave' Davidson's debut comedy show may be socially distanced, but the laughs are closer together than ever.

____________________

Performing remotely to no audience, comedian Dave struggles to maintain the momentum in his act. However with effort and a liberal dose of wine, he takes the audience along on his journey to question a seemingly absurd and unfair world.

The Preacher is a digital theatre performance of the Biblical book of Ecclesiastes (Koheleth) framed as a contemporary stand-up comedy show. It explores the relationship between performance and preaching, and contemporary and ancient wisdom.

This is an online, pre-recorded presentation. Show times are suggested and the video link will remain available to view on demand for 48 hours after time chosen.

Presented by: Anthony Noack
