Paul Foot
Paul Foot: The Future [WIP]
Hello and OMG. Everything’s wrong in the world. When did optimism end? Remember years ago when people were excited for the future, with predictions of people flying around on jet packs, friendly robots that wheeled themselves round the kitchen making tea, and solar powered bidets? Well, we don’t have fun visions for the future like that anymore, do we?
In this show, which, much like human civilisation, is a Work-in-Progress, Paul tries to find a way forward for humanity that isn’t environmental collapse, war and pointless arguments. His medium is stand-up comedy, his allotted time is 58 minutes to one hour, his message is hope (hopefully).
