Coronet Theatre, Auditorium
Join us for a night of comedy with a new rising star in the Italian and international stand-up scene.
What do you discover when you decide to leave the comfort of your sofa in Italy to become a foreigner in the UK, just as the UK decides to leave Europe? Francesco De Carlo takes us on a hilarious and inspiring journey through love, family, populism, in a wonderful mixture of personal and political stories. Contains accent!
This performance will be in English.
Running time: 60 minutes.
