Paul Campbell: The Lost Tapes of Somerfield

About

"Paul brings the first known show of the comedy retail bereavement genre to the Bill Murray. As a socially isolated teenager Paul found solace in the glorious aisles of his favourite branch of the 90s and 00s chain Somerfield. He'd spend up to 2 hours a day in his beloved Stretford branch. In this show Paul looks at why he became so devoted and discusses the heartache he experienced when the store closed, with the show being split into the five stages of supermarket grief. Rolling Stone -Rising Stars of Comedy to see at Edinburgh Fringe Winner- Malcom Hardee Award for Comedic Originality 2025 'A show to fall in love with' The Scotsman \*\*\*\*\* 'Delightfully absurd...beautifully written jokes that landed perfectly' Beyond The Joke \*\*\*\* 'Very funny jokes...strangely moving' Edinburgh Reporter \*\*\*\* "He's the funniest new act I've seen in years, razor sharp gags about his very, very sad mundane life. Also, he's not pretending to be weird, he really is!" - Lucy Beaumont
