Big Time by Luke Bolland

A one-man theatre experience disguised as a stand-up comedy show from multi-award-winning comedian Luke Bolland.

A stand-up comedian gets the biggest break of his career opening for a huge star. It should be the greatest night of his life, sadly, it turns into a nightmare, as everything that can go wrong does go wrong. With wit, charm, and a dash of improvisation, can he turn potential disaster into a night of unforgettable laughter? Will he rise to the occasion or unravel before your very eyes?

"Honestly one of the most entertaining hours you’ll ever have – I will be cancelling my ab workout because honestly, I haven’t laughed so hard for a long time" ★★★★★ Fourth Wall Media

"Luke Bolland is such a refreshing comedian to see, incredibly witty and quick with his jokes" ★★★★★ Fringefeed
