DAVID BADDIEL'S ONE-MAN SHOWS TO LAND ON SKY ARTS THIS NOVEMBER

All three of David Baddiel’s universally critically acclaimed one-man shows will land on Sky Arts & NOW in November. 

These first original stand-up commissions for Sky Arts will see My Family: Not the Sitcom premiere on Saturday 9 November, Fame: Not the Musical on 16 November and Trolls: Not the Dolls following on 23 November, all at 10pm on Sky Arts and available on NOW. 

Taped at London’s iconic Royal Court Theatre earlier this year, David reprised the three critically acclaimed shows which saw him return to stand up (after 15 years away) and perform in the UK and internationally from 2013 - 2021. 

My Family: Not the Sitcom – a massively disrespectful celebration of the lives of David’s late mother, Sarah and dementia-ridden father, Colin, which ran on London’s West End for 15 weeks and saw David nominated for an Olivier Award. 

Fame: Not the Musical – where David​​​​​​examines his strange relationship with the New Lad / Token Jew / comedy rock’n’roller / football singer-songwriter persona he’s co-existed with for 30 years.

Trolls: Not the Dolls – stories of the dark, terrible and hysterically absurd cyber-paths that interacting with internet 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.

David Baddiel said: “I was very happy to discover that, at my advanced age, I remembered these three shows well enough to perform them again on stage.  I think that in itself was considered enough of a miracle for Sky Arts to film them."

The 3 x 60” specials are produced by Avalon and Executive Produced by Jon Thoday and Richard Allen-Turner.

My Family: Not the Sitcom will premiere on 9 November, Fame: Not the Musical on 16 November and Trolls: Not the Dolls on 23 November exclusively on Sky Arts and streaming service NOW.
