Phil Henderson: Not My First Rodeo

Telegraph Top Jokes of the Fringe and BBC New Comedy Showcase nominee Phil Henderson returns with his one-night-only show, Not My First Rodeo.

A self-deprecating, left field and occasionally dark look at identity, cowboys, masculinity, fatherhood and the looming idea of death. Henderson’s blends sharp writing with gloriously silly wordplay. Now a father and increasingly aware of his own mortality, Phil attempts to make sense of modern masculinity, life’s strange expectations, and why cowboys still seem to have all the answers.

Raised in Newcastle and armed with a love of terrible puns, Henderson brings the warm confusion of a slightly bewildered man to the big questions of life. Thoughtful, playful and quietly absurd, Not My First Rodeo is a show about growing up, getting older, and wondering whether anyone actually knows what they’re doing. 'Impressive across a slew of different comedy styles... Henderson pretty much nails them all.' (Kate Copstick, The Scotsman).
