This Olivier Award-nominated new play is “hilariously brilliant and pure genius” raves the Sunday Express (?????) and stars Ian Shaw (War Horse, Common) as his father, Robert Shaw.The Shark is Broken celebrates movie history and peeks at the choppy waters behind Hollywood’s first blockbuster.Short tempers. Short circuits. 95 minutes, no intermission.

In this brand new show, Lee shares his stage with a tough-talking werewolf comedian from the dark forests of North America who hates humanity.

Can the beast inside us all be silenced with the silver bullet of Lee's unprecedentedly critically acclaimed style of stand-up?Stewart Lee ("The world's greatest living stand-up comedian" The Times), is in danger of being left behind. He's approaching sixty with debilitating health conditions, his TV profile has diminished, and his once BAFTA award-winning style of stand-up seems obsolete. But can Lee unleash his inner Man-Wulf to position himself alongside comedy legends like Dave Chappelle, Ricky Gervais and Jordan Peterson at the forefront of side-splitting stadium-stuffing sh*t-posting?
