This event has now ended. It took place on the 14-16 Dec 2006.

Bill Hicks

The true story of one man's attempt to change the world through stand-up. In this solo comedy, the greatest comedian ever returns from the dead for one more show, revealing how to end the war on terror, why drugs are better than alcohol, and what the Bush family has done for porn.

After sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh festival, in London's West End, and on tour in the UK, Chas Early's astonishing performance comes to the Bloomsbury for three nights only, complete with bad language and political incorrectness.

"Unimaginably brilliant- a comedy blinder. Beautiful, heavy-hitting, bad boy stuff... and it is almost painfully good. It is almost painfully Hicks."
The Scotsman

"Terrific. Chas Early gives this rollicking reincarnation integrity and wit."
Metro

"An absolutely must-see show. From the point of view of appearance, movement, facial expression, delivery and content, Slight Return is a triumph of mimicry, research and writing."
The Independent

"Achieves the impossible: a brave idea that shouldn't work – but it does."
TimeOut

"The routines carry just the right plaintive, told-you-so indignation, and there are one-liners to treasure at every turn."
Daily Telegraph

"The show really scores - the explosive combination of passion and cynicism, affection and disdain that makes you think: yes, we do need a Bill Hicks."
Financial Times
