Jack Rooke: Good Grief

Join BAFTA-winning writer and recovering spoken-word artist Jack Rooke, known for Big Boys on Hulu and Channel 4, as he brings back his acclaimed comedy-theatre show ‘Good Grief’! 🎭 A decade after its debut, the show returns to London at the iconic Roundhouse, where it all began in 2014.

This retrospective performance features the original material co-written with his beloved 80-year-old Nan, Sicely, alongside fresh reflections. Jack dives deep into themes of grief, ambition, and the complexities of being a class traitor while humorously contemplating the irony of using personal loss for creative gain. 💔😅 Expect insightful commentary on the innocence of writing for oneself, the influence of the industry, and the unmistakable regret of evolving into a “telly wanker.”

Content Warning: This show may touch upon themes of grief, suicide, and the history of Geri's exit from the Spice Girls in May 1998.

Directed by Gabriel Bisset-Smith (also a “telly wanker”), ‘Good Grief’ has received praise from top publications:

• ‘Good Grief 2.0 [is] a delightful and still affecting watch’ - Guardian
• ‘Engaging, frank and humorous.’ - New York Times

Don’t miss your chance to experience this touching and entertaining show!
