YorWorld: 19th February 2012


Chris Ramsey, Fosters award nominated stand up, joins us on the show to talk ‘8 out of 10 Cats’, how he feels about hecklers, and life as a professional comedian ahead of his appearance at the ‘Hyena Comedy Club’ in York on the 18th of March.

We also preview next weeks Dramasoc Production ‘Posh’ which was first staged at the Royal Court Theatre downstairs in 2010. The play is set in an Oxford student dining club called "The Riot Club" which represents a fictionalised version of the Bullingdon Club to portray the upper echelons of  society.

Our reviewers Alex Boyall and Kat Ronson turn their critical eye to this weeks Dramasoc production  ‘As Thyself’. This post-dramatic style play centres on three characters whose story unravels through anecdotes, memories, poetry, dance and more. A, B and C, with the help of 1, 2, 3 and 4, explore what makes up identity, the inner turmoil between loving and hating yourself, how memories shape you, the context of this generation and how everyday life is a performance. Dramasoc promised parts to make you laugh, to make you cry, to make you uncomfortable, and to make you think. Find out if the production lived up to expectations!

We also previewed this Mondays Open Drama Night which is an ambitious production of  the hit musical ‘Avenue Q’ addressing and satirizing the issues and anxieties associated with entering adulthood through puppets!
