PAUL FOOT – KENNY LARCH IS DEAD
Paul Foot has had to make some serious sacrifices in order to bring us mere earth-dwellers the ‘madness’ within his latest homage to humour, Kenny Larch Is Dead.
“I am from a faraway galaxy, 3.6 million billion kilometres away, which actually means I would be travelling at the speed of light,” he elaborates in his signature Buckinghamshire accent. “To travel at the speed of light, of course, time would be different for me than the people on earth. That would mean that I am from a different time zone – the future in fact, to perform my humour here on Earth.
“Having travelled close to the speed of light, in my galaxy time would go much more quickly. Which means all of my friends there, and indeed my wife, will be skeletons when I do return.” Despite this utterly tragic scenario, Paul will selflessly return in April for the Sydney Comedy Festival and he is on a mission.
“I want people to come to my show, attempt to analyse it, and then have nervous breakdowns. I’m about 71 per cent into that aim.”
