U.K. comedian and viral showman Christopher Hall is set to make his New York debut this summer with his new one-man show “Pizazz,” which is slated for a limited run at Asylum NYC this summer.
Presented by WestBeth Entertainment, the production will run June 5 through June 13, marking Hall’s first major stateside engagement following a growing international profile fueled by both his live performances and viral online presence.
“Pizazz” arrives in New York after a global tour that includes stops across Australia and a May 8 performance in Paris, with additional dates planned throughout the U.K., Ireland and Europe later this year.
Now in his early 30s, Hall uses “Pizazz” to reckon with his evolution from a self-described life-of-the-party performer to a more introspective voice, mining humor from the shifting realities of adulthood while maintaining the flamboyant, musical sensibility that has defined his work.
The comedian first gained traction online with a series of character-driven sketches online, including “Background Singers,” “Your Cat” and “The Millennial,” which have collectively amassed more than 50 million views and 12 million likes across platforms. The breakout success of “Background Singers” in particular led to collaborations with major music acts including Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain and the Jonas Brothers.
A trained performer with roots in musical theater and cruise ship productions, Hall has previously sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and toured internationally with earlier shows including “Girl For All Seasons” and “Self Helpless.”
With “Pizazz,” he returns to the stage with what he calls his “best show yet,” promising audiences “a hilariously fun soirée, delivered with irresistible charm, impeccable timing and, of course… plenty of pizazz.”
