Top Joe’s Christmas MASS

Top Joe, Liverpool Echo Comedian of the Year, invites you to the Music Appreciation Social Séance (MASS)! A comedy show with a difference…

Do you have a burning question about your life?
Are you waiting for the universe to give you answers?

If the answer is ‘yes’ then come to MASS! An evening where life’s questions are answered through the medium of séance, happenstance and indiscriminate song choices.

Expect in depth discussions such as “What clothes do you imagine you’re wearing whilst listening to Tour de France by Kraftwerk” or simply “Where is Sean from Five?” (5ive).

The night also features the wise teachings of Buddhism and the best bit of going to a séance (touching a ouija board).

Hosted by Liverpool Echo Comedian of the Year, Top Joe, and featuring special guests from Liverpool’s weird and wonderful arts scene. A night of curious variety like no other! Come with an open mind and leave with a cup full of bewilderment.

Featuring Special Guests:

Conway – Purveyor of all things wyrd! Conway is a performer that straddles peripheries and plays with genre. A connoisseur of fantasy, sci-fi and mysticism – you don’t know what they’ll have in store. A spell? A song? A conspiracy? It’s all on the table (and under the counter).

Frightwig Theatre – Time to release those itchy thoughts you’ve supressed for far too long, extract the moths lurking in your inner ear and scream yourself sick as we embrace the horror of modern Britain together. Frightwig are a horror-comedy trio inspired by the nightmare of everyday living.
