Chris Grace: 88%

Chris Grace brings his new show, 88%, to Komedia on Tuesday 21 July, as part of a UK world premiere tour. You might recognise him from Superstore or Dropout, but this is a stand-up set, not a scripted role.

The title points to the central question he works through: can you get along with someone if you're only mostly in agreement? It's a simple enough premise that ends up pulling in a fair few different threads. He spends the hour on politics, religion, and artificial intelligence, and he even brings The Traitors into the mix. It's the kind of set that starts with a specific question and then lets itself wander across the things that usually get people arguing, and the common ground that's left over.

It's a well-received show, too. The Guardian gave it four stars and called it "feverishly funny", and The List went for five, describing it as "beautiful, tender… truly memorable". Playbill also gave it five, calling it "a breath of fresh, sincere air", while The Arts Desk gave it four and noted he's "a wonderful storyteller". Ed Gamble summed it up in a way that's hard to argue with: "If you're cool like me, you'll love Chris Grace."

It's playing in the Komedia Studio at 44-47 Gardner Street, BN1 1UN, with unreserved seating, so you'll want to get there a bit early if you've got a preference for where you sit. Doors open at 19:00 and the show starts at 19:30. Tickets are £20, and it's for 16s and over.
