Join BAFTA-winning actor, comedian, director, and writer Richard Ayoade for an evening of reflections as he shares insights from his latest book, Afterthoughts, or Some Pistachios Won't Open: Wisdom for the Unreflective. Partially recognisable for being in _The IT Crowd_, his acclaimed films _Submarine_ and _The Double_, he has also hosted TV landfill like _Travel Man_ and _The Crystal Maze_, and lent his nasal voice to _The Boxtrolls_, _Early Man_, _Soul and The Bad Guys_. But you may well know him best for his role as ‘photographer’ in _The Life and Death of Peter Sellers_ in which he delivered the iconic line: _‘Please, Mer Sellers, can I get a shot of you and your mum?’_ Now, in the midst of some self-inflicted financial difficulty, he turns to the stage, inviting you to explore over 500 of his colossal notions. Thoughts like… Where’s the box to tick if you ARE a robot? If, when one door shuts, another door opens, there's something wrong with your doors. They shouldn't be doing that. TV detectives need a gimmick. Mine would be not caring who did it. Afterthoughts goes beyond rumination, past pondering, probing further than ever before. Drawing from a deeply private pool of questions—a reservoir so refreshing you may never need to think again.
