Pyramids. Hieroglyphs. Spells. Few civilisations capture the imagination quite like Ancient Egypt: a world of mystery, magic and mildly concerning burial practices. Now, award-winning comedian and amateur Egyptologist AJ Lamarque (Celebrity Letters & Numbers, ABC Radio Evenings) invites you to unwrap the myths in a crash course 5,000 years in the making. After selling out his tour across Australia this year with rave reviews, AJ is headed to London to the first time with his hit adults-only hour that’s part history lesson, part comedy and entirely entertaining. Expect gods, pop culture and a few historically questionable practices along the way. - - - "Lamarque is a remarkably talented comedian. Deftly weaving through depictions of Egypt in pop culture, ancient medicine and the daily life of regular citizens, he delivers shrewd observations and joyously relates ancient life to modern memes in an incredibly clever and entertaining manner." ★★★★★ Standing Inn-Ovation "It was fun, educational, interesting, intelligent and utterly captivating. AJ is so comfortable on stage, he could make anything niche seem accessible, worldly and fascinating." ★★★★★ Lillthia Reviews "Lamarque’s brand of comedy is sophisticated, as is he. Lamarque is fun. Lamarque is the sort of comedian you want to see again, and again. He is charming, easy on the eye and has a flashing and infectious smile that fills the stage." ★★★★.5 Barefoot Reviews "‘A Beginner’s Guide To Ancient Egypt’ is hands down the best 'lecture' I’ve ever attended. Lamarque never gets bogged down in history, as every fact has a punchline." Scenstr Doors Open: 7:00 PM | Show Starts: 7:30 PM | Ends: 8:30 PM
