Jordan Brookes: The Part Of You That's Always...

A new stand-up comedy show by Jordan Brookes, staged at Fairfield Social Club in Manchester. The material is built around an incident on a train and the sense of being seen and unseen at once.

This stand-up comedy show by Jordan Brookes is a new production, and its material grows out of an incident on a train. Brookes, who has won the Edinburgh Comedy Award, works through questions about feeling seen and unseen at the same time, and about what might be lurking at the edge of one's vision. The title points to the restless, unsettled side of the subject, and the performer's delivery is driven by odd, pointed lines rather than a set-up and punchline format alone.

Critics quoted in the show's publicity describe the material as absurd and achingly funny, and one review calls Brookes the existential Michael McIntyre. Brookes has also appeared on several television comedy programmes, including The Russell Howard Show and The Mash Report.

Fairfield Social Club is a theatre on Irk Street in Manchester, where the production is staged. The show suits audiences who enjoy observational and philosophical comedy, delivered by a single performer on stage.
