“The brilliant Ten in a Bed collective present their new act The Expeditionary Force to perform an hour-long show about gods, foibles and infinity” - Time Out
The First Supper is the first hour-long sketch show from three-man comedy group The Expeditionary Force, produced by the award-winning Ten in a Bed.
With only three stools, a bag of frozen peas and a wealth of colourful language, they create a skewed world which blends the silly and the surreal with the sinister and the satirical.
Regulars on the London and Newcastle comedy and cabaret scenes, The First Supper brings together some of their most popular sketches, including: Young Felicity introducing her father to her new fiancé, the Egyptian god Anubis; the nature of infinity explored through the means of a supermarket; a suburban confrontation regarding a giant papier mache fist, and the creator of the Mr Men going head-to-head with his deranged agent.
The show is written and performed by Jack Baldwin ('Sterling' Michael Billington,The Guardian), Mike Shephard (Writer, BBC Radio 4; Semi-finalist Amused Moose Laugh Off 2012; The Stand, Newcastle) and Luke Sunderland (Bright Club; 'vigorous and subtle' Medium Aevum).
It's satire, but not as you'll notice it.
