This DVD contains two full shows. The main show was recorded at the fantastic Machynlleth in May 2016, and the b-side show was filmed as part of the first Go Faster Stripe Festival in Bloomsbury at the end of 2015. The festival show has the honour of being the first show Tony has performed sober.
Roll up one and all and witness the wonder and mystery of Tony Laws Brainporium. Behold Tony s bits on Pirates, the perils of the misappropriation of another culture s noise, and of course Gok Wan. The show was recorded on the snowiest day of the year in Cardiff. So snowy in fact, that Simon Munnery spent the day stuck on the M40, and didn't make it for his recording. This gave Tony the opportunity to perform an unrehearsed and unplanned twenty five minute long second half. Anything could happen! This DVD also includes a bootleg recording of the Edinburgh performance this show evolved from, and a couple of other treats.
Emily has opened a florist, she's living her dream, but she soon learns her new venture used to be a front for an entirely different business altogether.
'Yeah.... Yeah! .... YEAH!!....' and so starts our rollercoster ride of a DVD with Tony Law. And things just go up from there. Hear the truth about subjects others are too afraid to discuss like black bears, Belgians and the digeridoo. He was mentioned in our very first release as 'the most reasonable guy I know' by TV's Stewart Lee. See just how reasonable for yourself in a little over an hour.
Winner of the Best Show category for the 2013 Chortle Awards, Tony Law's Maximum Nonsense is as good as surreal comedy gets. Law alternates between peculiar imagery and bizarre flights of fancy and the self referential as he deconstructs his own routine whilst performing it. He frequently breaks from the chaotic narrative of Maximum Nonsense to indulge in meta-comedy, pointing out uncomfortable non-sequiturs and his lack of one liners, before bringing the whole show to a close with an extended joke about his apparent inability to finish a joke.
Is Tony Law a way of doing comedy? A standuppy, sketchy, impro-ey, arty comedy show for people who are already funny.
