An illustration of a high rise building, birds, a cloud, a tree and a cat with a cutout of a person's face.

New comedy show from Henry Paker, featuring live illustration.

You’ve looked behind a Wizard’s Curtain. You’ve visited a sausage factory. Do you dare to gaze inside a cartoonist’s pencil case?

Leave your preconceptions about comedy/illustration at the door and expect to find them in an absolute state on the way out.

As heard on Three Bean Salad podcast. As seen on The Last Leg and Russell Howard’s Good News. Cartoons as seen in Joe Wilkinson: My Autobiography and Kay’s Anatomy.
