Glenn Moore is set to debut his third solo hour ‘Glenn Glenn Glenn, How Do You Like It, How Do You Like It’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, at Just The Tonic @ The Tron for the month of August. This is a distinctive, inventive stand-up show from an absurdly well-spoken comic known for his original and offbeat material.
It’s been an extraordinary few months for Glenn: he has appeared on ‘Mock The Week’ and can now be heard every weekday on the Absolute Radio Breakfast Show alongside Dave Berry. He recently did a co-headline UK tour with Adam Hess and is a writer on the Mash Report for BBC 2.
Last year Glenn Moore wowed audiences with his second comedy hour; the much talked about ‘Very Best of Belinda Carlisle’, which was the follow up to his debut ‘Glengarry Glen Glenn’, that received much critical acclaim and was one of the year’s best reviewed debut festival shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
In 2013, the organisation Mars One opened up applications for the first civilian trip to colonise Mars. Glenn applied. He hasn’t heard anything yet, but that’s not a no, is it? In fact, five years later, with his life falling apart, he’s now pinning his hopes on getting chosen. This year’s show ‘Glenn Glenn Glenn, How Do You Like It, How Do You Like It’ focuses on his obsession with going to Mars and leaving society behind. He knows that it would be a massive achievement but is that enough? And is it even possible?
He talks about his relationship falling apart and not being able to bear even sharing the same planet as the girl he’s just broken up with… He has a fear of leaving his old life behind and a fear of moving forward. Go with him on this supersonic life-changing journey…
Glenn is a critically acclaimed and prolific stand-up, writer and sketch comedian. He was nominated for ‘Best Debut Show’ at the Leicester Comedy Festival, and has supported Josie Long and Dave Gorman. He is a staff writer on the CITV sketch comedy show Scrambled, has written for Russell Howard’s Good News and Play To The Whistle, and has contributed material for Mock The Week as well as appearing on the show. Before joining Absolute Radio’s Breakfast show he frequently appeared alongside Vernon Kay, Johnny Vaughan and Russell Brand on Radio X as a newsreader. He’s also known for his silly, clever one-liners on Twitter which have earned him a huge following.
Moore is also one half of the critically acclaimed sketch comedy duo Thunderbards, who have been described by GQ as ‘Without question one of the funniest sketch groups‘. They’ve performed on BBC Radio 4’s Sketchorama and on BBC Scotland.
