British comic hoaxer Simon Brodkin comes to Estonia

 

Acclaimed British comedian Simon Brodkin will perform his stand-up show “Screwed Up” in Tartu on November 22, and twice in Tallinn on November 23. The show, which has been described as a rat-a-tat gag-fest by the Mail on Sunday, will see him talk about an array of topics from his 5 arrests to Putin and Prince Andrew.

Simon Brodkin is perhaps best known as the star of Channel 4’s Britain’s Greatest Hoaxer, where he pranks famous individuals from Donald Trump to Simon Cowell.

He has, however, been a stand-up comic since leaving a career in medicine in 2007. Boasting sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as countless TV appearances on shows such as the BBC’s Live at the Apollo.

His latest stand-up show, “Screwed Up”, will see the comedian (who is also the most-watched British comic on Tiktok) share his experience with fame, his mental health, five arrests, and people such as Putin and Prince Andrew.

Tickets for the show in Tartu on November 22, and two shows in Tallinn on November 23, are available at Piletilevi
