Ben Elton: Authentic Stupidity
11 October 2024 @ 7.30pm
About Ben Elton: Authentic Stupidity
Following the huge success of Ben Elton’s critically acclaimed sold-out UK tour in 2019, which marked his return to live comedy after a fifteen-year hiatus, the undisputed godfather of modern stand-up is going back on the road with his new show – Authentic Stupidity.
Ben Elton first exploded into the national consciousness back in the 1980’s hosting Channel 4’s groundbreaking Saturday Live, and he’s been setting the standard for gag-filled, taboo-busting, tonsil-rattling, mind-expanding stand-up comedy ever since!
Ben says: “Since my last live tour a whole new existential threat has emerged to threaten humanity! Apparently, Artificial Intelligence is going to destroy us all!
“Well I reckon our real problem isn’t Artificial Intelligence it’s good old-fashioned Authentic Stupidity! Forget AI! It’s AS we need to be worrying about!”
