Edinburgh Preview

Trevor Lock brings his Edinburgh show How to Drink a Glass of Water to Exeter Phoenix.

UK comic Trevor Lock tours the world with his genre defying live comedy happenings.

Before that Trevor starred in all three seasons of BAFTA nominated and British Comedy Award winning Star Stories , both seasons of BBCs TMWRNJ with Lee and Herring and the Steve Coogan produced Brain Candy.

As a stand up he has toured with with Stewart Lee, Russell Brand and Paul Foot. He has also let his spare room to James Acaster, Josh Widdecombe and has addressed The Oxford Union on The Meaning of Life.

Trevor runs an ongoing mental health and creativity workshop called Reality Games and a coaching program for comedians of all levels called Joke Hospital.

The Scotsman has described his work as ‘Funny, moving and clever.’ TimeOut, simply as ‘hilarious’ and culture website Spoonfed thought he could ‘probably win an award for the most laughs in a minute.’

London Is Funny wrote “He has a totally unique wellspring of material. In a different class really.” The Sunday Times wrote of the ‘superbly comic writing’ of his plays on the Edinburgh Fringe. Kate Moss simply said “He walks like Dudley Moore and he talks like Peter Cook.”

Most of his recent shows are now free form improvised “events” or happenings such as Community Circle “the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off.”
