The Stand Up & Down

A man tries to get out of a personal predicament by going into comedy. Things go well for a while – but soon he’s finding it harder to make people laugh.

In The Stand Up & Down, Des Marshal (writer) and Harry Meacher (director) use theatre as a way raise awareness of this social issue in what promises to be a creative, entertaining and thought provoking night!
