Portico Rooms, 19.30-20.45
Enjoy a night of comedy at Somerset House with Perrier Award winning Jackson’s Way by Will Adamsdale.
Part theatre, part comedy, Jackson’s Way is a satire on the world of self-help and corporate jargon. Will’s alter ego, American life-coach Chris John Jackson, brings his hilarious gospel of self helplessness to the people of London, presenting a motivational speech on his unique way of perceiving life and reaching contentment.
Jackson's Way changed my life. It remains one of the funniest things I ever saw, but its attempts to alter the way we see the world skewed my brain permanently, and has made the most mundane of moments delightful and fascinating ever since. I never recovered.
- Stewart Lee
Will Adamsdale was the shock winner of the Perrier Award for Comedy in 2004 for Jackson’s Way after arriving in Edinburgh to workshop the show for a week. He has also won a Scotsman Fringe First and Total Theatre Award for theatre piece The Receipt.
Jackson’s Way was developed with long time collaborator Kate McGrath, Co-Director of multi award winning Fuel and producer of some of the most cutting edge theatre of the past five years, from David Rosenberg’s extraordinary Electric Hotel and Sound&Fury’s Kursk to companies and artists as diverse as Uninvited Guests, Inua Ellams, Melanie Wilson and Clod Ensemble.
As funny as it is wonderfully weird… remarkable for both its sheer inventiveness and its perfect pitch - New York Times
