A RISING star in comedy will be bringing his new show to The Firestation, in Windsor.

Pete Johansson will end his Several Jokes tour at the St Leonards Road venue on Saturday, November 22.

Themes in the show include conquering fear, vulnerability, rebuilding intimacy in long-term relationships and his fear of ignorance.

Relating to current social issues, Pete discusses different reasoning behind our thoughts and our acceptance of each other, increasing his attempts to make the world a better place. Plus there’s animal talk as Pete has a terrible phobia of bees.

In his hit solo Edinburgh show, Naked Pictures Of My Life (2009), Pete illustrated the embarrassing developments of his life and how he reached his ‘happy-apathy’ attitude toward life.

The show garnered rave reviews and earned him a nomination as Best Newcomer, one of the most coveted awards in comedy.

He returned to Edinburgh in 2010 with Pete’s On Earth. The show pushed his own boundaries and garnered even more four and five star reviews. In 2013, he returned with Utopian Crack Pipe which was welcomed with further critical acclaim.

The Canadian moved to the UK in 2008 and quickly became a firm favourite with audiences around the country. He is a regular at the renowned London Comedy Store venue (where he recorded his live CD), has been invited on Radio 4’s prominent Loose Ends and appeared on Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC3) in 2010. Pete has performed alongside Stephen Merchant, Stewart Lee, Simon Amstell, supported Reginal D Hunter on his 75-date UK tour and even had the rare opportunity of closing for Jerry Seinfeld in the Comedy Store in 2011.

He bagged a starring role opposite Ed Byrne in BBC4’s Sex Bombs and appeared on Channel 4’s Brighton Best Of The Fest.
