PRESS RELEASE

Off the Kerb Productions in association with Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd presents

From BBC 2's Mock the Week & Q.I, BBC Radio 2's Parsons and Naylor's Pull-Out Sections and star of The Comedy Store's 'Cutting Edge.' Andy Parsons brings his smash hit, total sell out show from The Edinburgh Festival 2006 to the Soho Theatre this autumn.

International Indoor Championship Moaning is a celebration of the British public’s dedication to the cause of having a good old whinge.  This national propensity to see the glass half empty is the basis of award winning comic Andy Parsons’ wickedly funny new show culminating in a show-stopping climax of competitive whining.

Reviews for the show from Edinburgh 2006:

“**** Comedy Therapy of the highest order” Edinburgh Evening News

“A veritable showcase of all that’s gloriously wrongheaded
about the British People” Glasgow Herald

“**** Always politically savvy Andy is adept at exposing ridiculous Government proposals, flaws in the war on terror and widespread over-reactions on the part of the middle classes” The Scotsman

WINNER 2006 Montreal Comedy Festival "The Comedy Showdown"
WINNER 2004 New Zealand Comedy Guild Best International Act
WINNER 2002 Time Out Best Comedy Award
