Anthony performed his full hour show "Songs of Love And Death" for the first
time at Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival on Sunday 19th February. The show was very well attended and featured brand new
songs and stand-up generally pertaining to the title. (Set List)Below is some feedback from an audience member (and it's worth noting that
it is actually possible to book Anthony for a gig in your living room as a part of "comedy in your own home" via
the website www.leicesterstandsup.com).
"Saw Anthony on a Sunday afternoon at Leicester comedy festival, with a superb
mix of stand up and songs; some silly songs and some superbly dark "wrong songs", notably one about a naked dead
body floating in a river. All balanced with some outstanding stand-up and audience interaction.
Someone
commented that he had such a nice voice he should sing a proper love song, and I'm not sure if what he did in response
was ad-libbed but what was effectively a one liner set to music hit the comedy spot, bantering set to music.
I
don't know if this show, Anthony King - Songs of Love and Death, is heading to Edinburgh, but if it is I'd well recommend
checking it out. If he's not I'd look out for him playing a venue near you soon. In fact if he's not going to
Edinburgh book him, even if you don't run a gig, get him to play in your living room! "

A recent but brief review from the Warrignton Guardian:
"Anthony King’s
droll, deadpan humour had the audience in stitches".
