Paul Campbell: The Lost Tapes of Somerfield

Possibly the first show of the dead supermarket comedy genre.

Following a successful run at the Edinburgh festival this year, where it won the Malcolm Hardee Award Winner for Comic Originality, this show looks at how as a socially isolated sixth former, Paul Campbell found solace in the aisles of 00's supermarket Somerfield. 

Fast becoming a supermarket fanboy, Paul spent up to two hours a day relaxing in his beloved Stretford branch but when the store closed in 2006. Paul experienced the five stages of Supermarket Grief.
