50:50 Comedy feat. Roman Around: A Guided Tour of the Eternal City

Event information

For the last 50:50 of 2010 we've got a special holiday treat: our own Ryan Millar will be presenting his critics-approved solo comedy show: Roman Around: A Guided Tour of the Eternal City. It's an edutational romp through the history and sites of Rome. Or, as his promo blurb says:

See the great sites of Rome - without having to actually go there and do all that walking. Roman Around: A Guided Tour of the Eternal City combines historical fact, anecdotes, and invisible site-seeing into an inventive and mildly educational hour of comedy.

Your tour guide Ryan also dishes the real dirt on some of the more dramatic events from Rome's history. Simultaneously celebrating and skewering these historical tales, he weaves them into an irreverent and personal show chronicling his life in - and eventual flight from - Rome.

Some critical praise:

★★★★ Three Weeks "A whimsical, witty account of his time as a tour guide... Millar would make a most excellent drinking buddy, with chat educational enough to make you feel like downing a pint with him was a virtuous undertaking, and he can segue seamlessly into a good Michelangelo joke - quite the rare find."

★★★★ RemoteGoat "Several people were almost crying with laughter at some of the ridiculous encounters and anecdotes that Millar plays out."

★★★ Chortle "By crikey he must have made a cracking tour guide as he brings the yarns he does include to vivid life with engaging gusto. I defy anyone not to get the urge to see that inspiring Sistene roof [sic] once Millar has told his Michelangelo story."

This event is expected to sell out, so book your ticket now.
