Much-loved comedian Chris Addison takes to the Hackney Empire stage to delight his audience with tales of his funniest year - 2001.
Chris personally chose 2001 as it was the year he turned 30, and the year that his childhood expectations of inventions such as jet boots, anti-gravity pills and space capsules were dashed.
The comedian talks his way through George Bush's public disasters as he became president of the US, Phil Mitchell getting killed by a hedge in EastEnders, John Prescott getting into scraps, and beards suddenly becoming very unfashionable.
Chris also explores the life-changing birth of Popstars - the search for a new pop band that gave the world Hear'Say - and recalls Simon Cowell forcing Pop Idol onto screens in almost every living room in the land.
After a factual two-step through the 'naughty politicians' of 2001, plus a poke at Paul Burrell on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, Chris finishes his tour of 2001 with his take on the Jesse Ventura conspiracy theories.
