Benet Brandreth QC is a highly-regarded barrister, award winning comedian, rhetoric coach and authority on Shakespeare. Benet works regularly with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Donmar and others on Shakespeare’s use of language. He has also written and performed for radio and the stage. His 2001 one-man show, “The Brandreth Papers”, was a five-star reviewed sell-out at the Edinburgh Festival and on its London transfer. It was called ´Heroic storytelling´ (Sunday Telegraph) from ´a master raconteur´ (Independent on Sunday) that promises a ´laugh in every line´ (Scotsman).
Benet is bringing his new show, BENET BRANDRETH: A HERO FOR OUR TIMES to the Edinburgh Fringe for the month of August (Gilded Balloon Teviot). It is a comic tale of love, loss, redemption and ramekins. Slightly surreal, hugely funny, it’s a story about how to cope with the absurdity of today’s world, find love at 43, put on a one-man show in New York and come to terms with all your spare ramekins.
