Chris Kent: That's All I Need Now!

Chris Kent: That's All I Need Now! is a new stand-up comedy show by Chris Kent, staged at Monkey Barrel Comedy in Edinburgh. It is a seated evening of storytelling and observational humour.

The routines are built around laid-back storytelling and sharp observations of everyday life. Chris Kent covers the crowded schedule of children's activities, the small surprises that come with getting older and a modern world that seems keen to diagnose everything. The couple's ongoing attempts to grow their family and the daily effort of keeping a bamboo plant under control also feed into the material.

Every ticket-holder is given a seat, and the show runs about 100 minutes including an interval. The delivery is deadpan and conversational, with the comedy resting on relatable situations rather than a rapid run of unconnected jokes.

Monkey Barrel Comedy is a comedy club in Edinburgh that has been named Scotland's Best Comedy Venue by the Chortle Awards since 2020. The venue hosts shows throughout the year and is the setting for this production.
