Sam Michael: Worlds Oldest Man

About

Swindon's own Sam Michael brings his debut solo show 'World's Oldest Man' to Swindon Arts Centre. What life advice did the Guinness World Records’ Oldest Man give Sam Michael — and why did it make him rethink everything from love, to health, and Butlins Big Weekenders?

Blurb (long): 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.
