Chris Stokes 'Tapestry'

17:30 - 19:30 Sun, 06 Sep '20
A Secret Garden, Somewhere in North West London, NW2
A double bill of true storytelling shows from a pair of Natural Born Storytellers' favourites.. **Chris Stokes** Award-winning storyteller and comedian Chris (BBC Three, Dave, BBC Radio 4 and Natural Born Storytellers) is sick of being told to look at the big picture. Look at the little ones instead, they offer the real perspective. After all... They make up the big one anyway. 'Tapestry' is the world premiere of a brand new true-life storytelling show, hilarious and heartfelt and spanning 32,000 years... Chris has supported Milton Jones and Jason Manford among others on nationwide tours, taken five critically acclaimed solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, written for Have I Got News For You, The News Quiz and more, been named on the BBC New Talent Hot List and currently co-hosts the Natural Born Storytellers podcast. \_"Impressive" - New Statesman "A wonderful storyteller... If Chris Stokes invites you to sit down and listen to him tell stories about his life for an hour, just do it... It might well make you a better person” - List "Full of interesting ideas" – Mirror “Genuine epiphanies as well as laughs” - Chortle ★★★★ List ★★★★ Skinny ★★★★ Mirror ★★★★ Broadway Baby ★★★★ Edinburgh Festivals Magazine ★★★★ Three Weeks\_ **Emily Turner** In 2016, Emily decided to see if she could sleep with a man from every borough of London. Though she has yet to make it all the way there, her tribulations, infatuations, blow jobs and heartbreaks along the way come together in a series of hilarious (and occasionally poignant) stories. Tonight, Emily will be presenting excerpts from her in-development comic storytelling show/geography lecture "Of Maps and Men" – a celebration of urban life and modern dating. Event Location will be emailed to everyone the day before the event, but the nearest tubes are Kilburn and Willesden Green. **There will be NO on the door sales.**
