Markus Birdman “Gutter”

A BRITAIN’S Got Talent star is coming to the Cliffs Pavilion next spring.

 Markus Birdman is bringing his new stand-up tour to Westcliff, examining his experience of stroke and sight loss.

 He explains: “Last year, after 20 years of stand up, I did Britain’s Got Talent. People asked me, “why now?”. Up ‘til that point I’d been very happy avoiding TV & fame – and in that sense, I’d been hugely successful!

 “However, the year before, I’d also had a stroke and lost half my eyesight.  I was now keen to talk about my experience, comedically, to as wide an audience as possible.

 “I did quite well, got to the semi-finals & had my 15 minutes fame.

“Careful what you wish for!

“Who knew that talking about my experience would be so offensive?  How dare I make jokes about my own strokes & blindness! “You nasty, awful man”.

 “This is a candid new stand-up hour, talking about who I am, in an era where people are really keen to hear about who you are, so long as who you are, is something they want to hear about.

“Never mind the haters, I come back at you with love.”

Age restriction for the show is 14+

 Tickets are £16.50, and are available from 0343 310 0030.
