David Baddiel at Grand Opera House York 2020

  • Grand Opera House York Cumberland Street York, England, YO1 United Kingdom (map)

David Baddiel comes back to the stage with a brand new one-man show, Trolls: Not The Dolls.

Trolls – the terrible people who spend all day insulting and abusing strangers for no other reason than to fill the huge gaps in their souls. There is a common wisdom about how to deal with trolls: don’t, for goodness sake, encourage these people by replying to them.

It’s a good law. And it’s one that David Baddiel has consistently broken. Because David has always seen trolls as hecklers, and if a comedian gets heckled, it is their duty not to ignore the heckler, but to wittily put them down. Over the years, David has spent a lot of time doing this, which has led him to think that there might be a show in it: a show that would say something about how we live now. David has stories to tell, of the dark, terrible and hysterically absurd cyber-paths that interacting with trolls has led him down. Come with him on this comedy journey into our culture’s most dank virtual underground.

You will come back safe, more able to deflect your own trolls, and only a little bit soiled.

Need a place to stay in York for the show? Try a House of York holiday home where prices for up to 6 people start at 100 GBP per night.

109 and 107 Nunnery Lane are just a 12 minute walk away from the Grand Opera House or why not stay right in the centre of York right on the venue’s doorstep at 17 Stonegate Court with its stunning balcony views of York Minster.
