London:
Please Hold

You know the old compliment, "I’d listen to him read the telephone book aloud"? Comedy performer Saul Henry is taking it very literally. Swapping the comedy circuit for a microphone and a 1939 London telephone directory, Saul abandons his trademark irreverence to deliver the ultimate exercise in deadpan restraint. No chat, no analysis, and zero punchlines, this effortlessly engaging MC is sitting down to simply read a vintage phonebook, line by line. It’s a brilliant collision between a naturally warm comedian and the driest source material on earth, resulting in an oddly hypnotic, deeply soothing auditory time capsule.
