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.

Così fan tutte is a timeless work full of questions that affect us all.
