What To Expect
Something Wicked That Other Way Comes is presented as a return after almost two years away. The official description casts Hunter as a wandering ‘Vagabond’ who has spent that time observing from a distance before coming back armed with a new set of sharply framed jokes.
The framing is theatrical, but this remains a stand-up show rather than a narrative play. Hunter’s material is described as being sharpened by ironic and tragic circumstances, giving the hour a darker edge alongside the measured, conversational delivery familiar from his live work.
The show runs for 60 minutes in the Assembly Rooms Ballroom. It carries an 18+ restriction and a strong-language warning, so it is one of the more clearly adult-only comedy listings in this batch.
