Having seen a sell-out run at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2013, David Baddiel's critically acclaimed show FAME: NOT THE MUSICAL is pitching up at the Menier Chocolate Factory for just four weeks only. Which he swears has NOTHING to do with a certain impending football tournement....

Baddiel will regale his audience with his various tales of (mirthful) woe. Remember that time when he accidentally stole the spotlight at Russell Brand's wedding to Katy Perry? How about the time that he realised that theatre maestro Andrew Lloyd Webber couldn't tell him apart from fellow comedian Ben Elton?

In Fame: Not The Musical, comedian David Baddiel puts himself in the firing line and examines his strange relationships with the New Lad/ Token Jew/ Comedy rock'n'roller/ football singer-songwriter roles that people see him as. Is his fame, as incidental, and non-seeking unlike most of today's celebrity heat-seeking missiles, all that it is cracked up to be?
