The only way to EXPERIENCE a Phil Nichol show is up close and personal and his latest show entitled ‘Too Much’ in Barcelona's newest intimate comedy venue Mau Mau. will certainly offer the full Nichol! This is yet another blistering show from arguably the most intense storyteller in the game and follows an incredible two-year run with his last offering ‘Your Wrong’ that toured across the UK, Europe, SE Asia, Canada and New Zealand.
‘Too Much’ follows the rollercoaster ride of Phil’s hilarious relationship with the modern world. And what a confounding, hilarious and messed up world it is. It’s too much.
The planet is messed up, society has devolved, mankind is hopeless, vegans are right, you aren’t supposed to punch facists, the left are self-righteous morons, everyone is a selfish prick, Phil’s a bleeding hypocrite. It’s all too much. Too much.
Ask yourself this, what kind of person ends up-
-Naked on The Weakest Link?
-Taking two 75 year olds to Glastonbury?
-Arrested for quoting Derek and Clive on a Virgin Train?
-High on Ecstasy in the back of a police car in Lancaster?
-Surviving a Rocket attack in Kandahar, Afghanistan?
-With his nose broken by a Royal Marine in Thailand?
-Listening to his 90 year old mom tell him how madly in love with his father she is?
Phil Nichol. That’s who.
‘Too Much’ takes an unflinching look at aging, recognition, mental health, values, norms, patience, love, everything and conkers. Expect riotously uncomfortable anecdotes and oversharing delivered in Nichol's unique live-wire style.
“This Fringe I’m performing two comedy shows and a classic play every day. Too Much. I’ve written 23 solo hours for the Fringe. Too Much. I’ve won or been nominated for 25 awards including 2018 Best Touring Show (Scottish Comedy Awards 2018) Too Much.
I have over 1034 total stars over the twenty three years of stand-up and 33 years of total comedy that I have performed. Too Much. And still I’m worried that no one will like me. It just all Too Much.” -Phil Nichol 2019
