Sam Michael: The World's Oldest Man at The Waterman, Cambridge
About the show
What life advice did the Guinness World Records’ Oldest Man give Sam Michael - and why did it make him rethink everything from love, to his health, to Butlins Big Weekenders?
Forever failing to live in the moment, this lad-turned-tired-dad takes a hilarious, nostalgic look at missing his chance to seize the day in youth — less Carpe Diem, more It can wait until tomorrow (Potest donec cras!) - and his increasingly tragic attempts to make up for it before he hits 40.
The World’s Oldest Man is Sam Michael’s debut solo show: warm, self-deprecating, and packed with relatable regret. Chortle calls it “An enjoyable hour in easy-going company” and “Cheekily self-deprecating... engagingly told by a natural, relaxed performer.”
Sam Michael is fast becoming one of the most exciting voices on the UK comedy circuit. With performances described as a “comedy masterclass” on BBC Bristol, he has also supported Al Murray, Dom Joly, Matt Richardson, and others on their national tours.
