Markus Birdman: We Are All In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking At The Gutter (2025)

Synopsis

We Are All In The Gutter, But Some Of Us Are Looking At The Gutter About In 2023, after 20 years of stand up, I did Britain’s Got Talent. People asked me, “why now?”. Up until that point I’d been very happy avoiding TV & fame - and in that sense, I’d been hugely successful! However, the year before, I’d also had a stroke and lost half my eyesight. I was now keen to talk about my experience, comedically, to as wide an audience as possible. I did quite well, got to the semi-finals & had my 15 minutes fame. Careful what you wish for! Who knew that talking about my experience would be so offensive? How dare I make jokes about my own strokes & blindness! “You nasty, awful man”. This is a candid and hilarious new stand-up hour, talking about who I am, in an era where people are really keen to hear about who you are, so long as who you are, is something they want to hear about. Otherwise “you deserve your stroke”
