Mark Allen's Mob Logic
Mob Logic is the stand up show that I first
performed at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival and which was revised
for one night at The Marlborough Theatre in Brighton and a 3-day
run at The Hen and Chickens Theatre in London. The show is about what
makes humans behave differently in crowds and I attempt to
explain the reasons for some of the utterly ludicrous behaviour we
exhibit.
Feel free to read on for more information about the show. You can
read what it's all about, have a peep
at the
flyer, find out when
it was on, read some nice things said about
it and
download a press
release all
on this very page. Huzzah!
What it's all
about
Have you ever been in a conga line and suddenly thought “What
on earth am I doing?”. Or questioned why normally mild-mannered
accountants turn into rage-addled loons when they’re in a football
crowd? Maybe you’ve wondered why otherwise respectable young
ladies transform into bawdy cackle-hags when they’re part of
a hen night? Well it’s exactly this sort of nonsense that I'm
going to explore in his my solo stand-up show Mob Logic.
In the follow-up
to my pleasingly successful 2006 show Quite
Good Britain, I'm going to look at what makes humans behave
differently when they’re
part a crowd and try to get to the bottom of this frankly ridiculous
behaviour. Is it a deep-seated biological impulse inherited from
thousands of years of evolution, is it the result of complex social
stimuli, or is it simply a lot of people showing off?
