About This Show
Born in Essex in 1960, Grayson has had a career spanning 40 years. From his A House for Essex, a permanent building constructed in the North Essex countryside in 2015, to Grayson Perry’s Big American Road Trip – a three-part documentary travelogue in which he explored the meaning of the American Dream today – and Grayson’s Art Club, which brought the nation together during lockdown through art, making new works and hosting masterclasses, Perry is somewhat an expert in making lemonade out of the mundanity of life.All proceeds will be split equally between Stand Up To Cancer and The National Brain Appeal. Highlights from the concert will also be broadcast as part of Tom’s Channel 4 documentary with an extended show to follow. Grayson Perry is a normal person – and just like other normal people, he’s marginally aware that we’re all going to die. Let Grayson take you through an enlightening and eye-watering evening in which this kind of existentialism descends from worthiness to silliness. You’ll leave safe and warm in the knowledge that nothing really matters anyway.
