NRWinner of the Best Show category for the 2013 Chortle Awards, Tony Law's Maximum Nonsense is as good as surreal comedy gets. Law alternates between peculiar imagery and bizarre flights of fancy and the self referential as he deconstructs his own routine whilst performing it. He frequently breaks from the chaotic narrative of Maximum Nonsense to indulge in meta-comedy, pointing out uncomfortable non-sequiturs and his lack of one liners, before bringing the whole show to a close with an extended joke about his apparent inability to finish a joke.

The King of post-modern nonsense, Tony presents his funniest, most meaningful show. This show is available as either a download or a mind bending headband. This red terry-towelling headband perfectly compliments the blue headband for Tony's last show. If you buy one, you'll get a code on the back of the packet which you can use to download the show. A mind-changing, comedy-art, laugh-affirming experience you’ll never forget. Expect accents, observations, shouting, clowning, shadows, shadow puppets, a space bear puppet, music, bad music, falling and white face paint. This show finds the vulnerability in us all. Watch him and through laughter – rise, happier. You cry, with laugh. ‘What was that!?’ ‘I loved that’. Then you smile to yourself. ‘Tony, you grande dickhead, you making me thinking while you do ‘up’ voice shouting ‘n’ clownsing and then, somehow, through idiocy and your bones of funny – Tone, I know what you mean’.

NRRoll up one and all and witness the wonder and mystery of Tony Laws Brainporium. Behold Tony s bits on Pirates, the perils of the misappropriation of another culture s noise, and of course Gok Wan. The show was recorded on the snowiest day of the year in Cardiff. So snowy in fact, that Simon Munnery spent the day stuck on the M40, and didn't make it for his recording. This gave Tony the opportunity to perform an unrehearsed and unplanned twenty five minute long second half. Anything could happen! This DVD also includes a bootleg recording of the Edinburgh performance this show evolved from, and a couple of other treats.

In A Law Undo His-elf What Welcome, Tony Law is closer than ever to nonsense nirvana. Behold the comedy event horizon. Without a hint of a joke, this powerful show has achieved a sort of comedy which aims at making no sense at all and yet, and yet, and yet it means everything. Every dog damned thing ever. Science called and they want their goal back. Law has burst the net. You will feel sick with awe. You will barf wonder. This show is a code. The words are all jumbled up but when you put them in the right order the wormhole opens up. Nothing is the same anymore. You can't call this comedy. This isn't comedy… It's something else... It's ...OTHER. Anthony Johnston Law
