Award-winning comedian Henry Paker bringing unique new show to Northampton
Comedian, writer and cartoonist Henry Paker is bringing a new show combining stand-up comedy and live illustration to Northampton.
Paker will perform Pencil Case at Royal & Derngate on Friday, October 23, as part of his latest UK tour.
The award-winning comedian has written for some of Britain’s biggest comedy programmes, including Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Would I Lie to You? and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.
He is also a host of the popular Three Bean Salad podcast and has worked extensively as an illustrator, including collaborations with author Adam Kay on seven bestselling children’s books.
Describing Pencil Case, Paker said: “It’s a genre-defying evening that fuses stand-up comedy and live illustration.”
He added: “I’ve had so much fun developing this show, and I can’t wait to share it with the fantastic and quietly noble people of the United Kingdom.”
Paker’s other credits include writing and starring in BBC Radio 4 sketch show Small Scenes and co-writing and appearing in sitcom ReincarNathan.
As a performer, he has appeared on television in Josh, Comedy Central at the Comedy Store and Edinburgh Comedy Fest Live.
