Get ready to chuckle, Swindon and Cirencester! Following a series of sell-out performances across the UK, comedian Andy Parsons is bringing his hilariously upbeat show, Bafflingly Optimistic, to local stages this Autumn.
Parsons, who has long been a fixture in British comedy, has gained a reputation for his sharp wit and unflinching optimism, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. His latest show promises to blend insightful humour with a generous dose of his signature positivity, exploring everything from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to the more mundane trials of modern life.
With a career spanning numerous acclaimed shows, Parsons initially cut his teeth as a writer for Radio 4’s Weekending before making his mark as one of the lead writers on the original Spitting Image. His extensive CV includes a six-year run with his own Radio 2 series, regular appearances on Mock The Week, and standout moments on Live At The Apollo, The Comedy Store, and QI.
Parsons’ accolades speak volumes, with awards from Time Out Comedy, the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, Montreal Just For Laughs, and Cannes, among others. His previous comedy specials, including Britain’s Got Idiots, Gruntled, Slacktivist, and Live & Unleashed [but Naturally Cautious], have cemented his place as a beloved figure in comedy.
This Autumn, Bafflingly Optimistic will visit:
- Swindon, Arts Centre on Sunday, 15 September
- Cirencester, Sundial Theatre on Thursday, 5 December
