Bigoted comic Eddie Pierce faces his critics and peers in a concert that no-one could imagine, with an outcome that no-one could predict.
Old School Eddie (Jim Davidson) faces up to the cream of new comedians, including Earl T Richards (Matt Blaize) who is politically correct, brilliant…and black!
STAND UP & BE COUNTED! gives us a ringside seat as gay icon Billy Simpson (Lloyd Hollett) and TV’s newest talent Ellie Jayne (Rachael Barrington) share a dressing room with Britain’s most controversial comedian Eddie Pierce, along with Eddie’s faithful tour manager and conscience Stan (Philip Childs).
The show is co-directed by Clare Kissane, who is playing Suzie Pierce, Eddie’s long-suffering wife.
This ‘pull no punches’ play is full of drama and comedy and provides us with a look inside the minds of these troubled entertainers.
STAND UP & BE COUNTED! will leave you breathless and gagging for more!
