WIT Presents: Michael Kunze, INFINITY MIRROR + Chris East, MY BRAIN IS SOUP

WIT is delighted to present award-winning comic performer, writer and director Michael Kunze (member of the Comedy Lab at the prestigious Torino Film Festival), as brings his eagerly anticipated Edinburgh Fringe solo show to Woking for one night only! Many of you will remember Michael from his performances with Blueberry and Track 96, at two of our previous events here in Woking. Now he's back with his one-man show and we can't wait to see it!

About the show:

Hollywood film superstar Mitch Coony knows what people say about him - that he’s washed up, that he’s bitter and that he’s incredibly handsome and supremely talented - but does anyone know the man behind the myth? No. So, in one-man sketch show Infinity Mirror, (directed by Lee Griffiths), Mitch says it’s time to set the record straight, to shoot from the hip, to get real and tell all. Where? In a no-holds-barred interview, of course!

Join Mitch as he traces the arc of his career from rags to riches and back again, taking in the cowboy spectacular, smash hit, off-Broadway show ‘My Brother the Horse’ and Oscar glory in the gritty reimagining of Snow White – ‘Ah-choo: The Sneezy Story’ – to the low moments like ‘Jeffrey Dahmer the Musical!’ Along the way, with the help of sketches, songs and top notch nonsense, Mitch drops names, drops his guard, and drops the ball again and again in his quest for fame.

Infinity Mirror is a cautionary tale about celebrity, failure and a man who sold his soul for fame and found it wasn’t worth much to begin with. The upside? “You’re only ever one smash hit away from a Tom Hanks sex party!”

'A masterclass in comedic storytelling.'

WIT is thrilled to present the hilarious character comedian Chris East (Soho Theatre labs alumnus), as he brings his brilliant one-man show to Woking before he takes it up to Edinburgh to sell out audiences. We are delighted that Chris is joining Michael on what promises to be a roaringly funny night.

About the show:

Chris East's brain is soup. The contents of that soup are a messy combination of ideas, half formed thoughts, plots, plans, ambitions, and characters. So many characters.

“A masterclass in deadpan maintenance at the edge of absurdity” (The Reviews Hub)

Expect Costumes, big characters, accents, music, an existential crisis and plenty of artistic self-doubt. A cool guy in a leather jacket? A lounge singer who just learned about sex? A PE teacher who is scared of the genie from Aladdin? This show has them all.

About Chris:

Chris East is a character comedian based in London. Fresh from his a sell out show at the Camden Fringe (How To Start Your Own Cult, with Ben Goldsmith and Katie Davison), you may also have seen - or heard - him on the BBC (television and radio), Sky TV, Disney+, at Fringe festivals (Edinburgh, Brighton, Clapham, Camden) or perhaps at Reading and Leeds Festival.
