Multi-award-winning stand-up comedian Richard Pulsford has taken the unusual step aside from his usual quality one-liners and pun shows in writing and performing this new autobiographical show.

This show sees Richard taking a nostalgic dive into his parents’ past as he tries to understand what made them who they were, and therefore the person who he is. His parentage is an unusual mix, with a dad from Yorkshire and a ‘foreign’ mum from continental Europe.

Perhaps it should be no surprise that with such a heritage, Richard ended up being, by his own admission, ‘funny’.

This show brings a highly personal perspective to the whole immigration debate which is so frequently in the news this decade.
