Stand-up That Jumps Out

How would you like to be remembered when you're dead?
This is the central idea behind Adam Knox's stand -up show at the Imperial Hotel 'People Crying "Adam Knox" As They Leap From Planes'.
This is a show which hits at the heart of something we all think about at the back of our heads, but never seriously acknowledge - what will our legacy be after we're gone? Will we even have one?
Knox takes his audience on a journey through the merits or otherwise of a number of ways in which they can be remembered after they have died. His affable, slightly self-deprecating style of delivery won the audience over the moment he took to the stage and his rendition of 'Sabotage' by The Beastie Boys is certainly unique. This is thoughtful, silly comedy with a nice through-line which pays-off satisfyingly at its conclusion.
