Adam Riches IS Sean Bean IN 'How the Bean Saved...

A stand-up comedy show in which Adam Riches plays a character called Sean Bean, a follow-up to an earlier show by the same comedian, staged at Glee Club in Birmingham.

Adam Riches, the British comedian and Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, takes on the role of Sean Bean, the comic character at the centre of this stand-up show. Sean Bean himself does not appear; the performance is Adam Riches playing the part. The Bean returns with more chaos and buffoonery, determined to save Christmas once and for all.

The show follows an earlier production by the same comedian, which was reviewed with five stars by Chortle, The Times and The Independent. Here the audience takes part in the comedy as well: the cast includes "All of You", who are cast as "A Bunch of Bastards", so the crowd is written into the story rather than simply watching it.

The evening suits anyone who enjoys character-based stand-up and a festive storyline with a good deal of silliness. It takes place at Glee Club, a venue in Birmingham that hosts concerts and shows.
