The Critic’s Way
By Adam Riches
Have you ever dreamed about becoming a comedy reviewer? Do you think you have what it takes to sit in a dark room watching something on your own without falling asleep?
Then come join Caliban Munroe, ‘the single most influential critic of our times’ (The Caliban Munroe Podcast), and best-selling author of industry bible ‘The Critic’s Way’, as he hosts his award-winning once-in-an-afternoon seminar on how to live your dream and crush everyone else’s.
NB THERE WILL BE NO PRESS TICKETS AVAILABLE FOR THIS SHOW
The latest stab at something from the award-winning mind behind other things.
ADAM says…
‘I’ve always loved critique. I’ve always held reviewers in such high esteem, believing what they do to be genuinely an art form. But that love and esteem soon evaporated the day I became the one they were reviewing!
Over the years I’ve written and performed almost 100 comedy shows and bizarrely every single one of them has been reviewed. I feel that more than qualifies me to turn the tables and create a show not just for the critics, but about them.
Hopefully it’s going to be a fun ride testing both our senses of humour and thicknesses of skin. Hopefully…’
