Information - Gavin Lilley – Sign of the Times

Hilarious stand up comedy – performed in BSL, translated into spoken English!

Drawing on his life as a sign language user, seasoned traveller and weary father of three Gavin shares painfully funny stories of awkward moments, cultural mishaps and the quirks of everyday life!
Gavin has entertained audiences across the UK and Europe, performing everywhere from the London Palladium and the Edinburgh Fringe to the Helsinki Apollo — and even supporting John Bishop on tour. His comedy bridges deaf and hearing worlds, giving audiences a unique perspective on the habits we all share (but rarely admit!).

Don’t miss the chance to see Gavin live in this hilarious, heartfelt celebration of language, culture and the joy of laughing at ourselves.
