Garrett Millerick: We Tried it Your Way (Work in Progress) Garrett has spent the last year trying every self-help trend going. Healthier but not happier, he has some feedback for the influencers. Creator and star of BBC R4’s hit new comedy Do Gooders brings his ‘Big Hitting Stand Up’ (Guardian) to the Pleasance for an evening of the no holds barred iconoclastic stand up that has made Garrett one of the stand out live acts of his generation. ‘A masterclass’ ★★★★ Telegraph ‘Has the room erupting with laughter. Cathartic. Clever. Funny.’ ★★★★ Scotsman ‘Smart, wide-ranging, playful and devastatingly funny.’ ★★★★★ Chortle
