The true story of one man’s attempt to change the world through stand-up comedy.

In this stunning solo show, the greatest comedian ever returns from the dead for one more show, revealing how to end the war on terror, why drugs are better than alcohol, and what the Bush family has done for porn.

The production has now played three sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh festival, and two sell-out West End seasons.

Congratulations to Chas. Early on his success in the first round of Mastermind, with his specialist subject The Life And Times Of Bill Hicks - broadcast on BBC One, 23 October 2009.

 

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST-SEE SHOW. Slight Return is a triumph of mimicry, research and writing.” The Independent

ACHIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE: a brave idea that shouldn’t work. But it does.” Time Out

UNIMAGINABLY BRILLIANT- a comedy blinder. Beautiful, heavy-hitting, bad boy stuff... and it is almost painfully good. It is almost painfully Hicks.” The Scotsman

TERRIFIC. Chas Early gives this rollicking reincarnation integrity and wit.” Metro
