Imfallible

Content warning [May contain spoilers]

Footlight and 2026 Chortle Student Comedian of the Year Finalist, Isaac Tompkinson, has never (Oct 2003-present) made a mistake.

If you’ve seen him do something wrong then it was intentional, most likely ironic, and certainly avant-garde. It’s fine if that goes over your head, not everything is for you. You probably do get it though; I get the vibe that you’re the sort of person that gets things. You’re a fork among spoons. In this new stand-up show Isaac wants to see if he can keep that perfect streak going for another sixty minutes. For one night only he'll take to the stage to prattle about things of great import and so I command thee: Lie no longer in the mud! Rise and stand, be square-shouldered and steely-eyed! Show yourself to be one of the special few and hear the wise man speak.

This production is suitable for ages 16 and over. Given the timing of the performance, parental discretion is advised.

The ADC Theatre is Britain's oldest University playhouse, today administered and maintained by the University of Cambridge. Plays have been presented on the site since 1855, when the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club (CUADC) was founded, and the society met and performed in the back room of the Hoop Inn, which stood almost exactly where the ADC Theatre stands today. Today, the ADC Theatre is the centre of University drama in Cambridge, run almost entirely by students with no Faculty involvement.
