how to live a jellicle life: life lessons from the 2019 hit movie musical ‘cats’
An Awkward Production
At Upstairs at The Globe 16-17 February 2022
“Linus Karp’s acclaimed homage to the film Cats”
Leicester Comedy Festival is back and for 3 weeks the city and surrounding area is alive with laughter.
I headed in to a new venue to me, The Globe on Silver Street, to see Linus Karp’s acclaimed homage to the film Cats.
Upstairs there is a bijou performance space that holds an audience of just 40 which makes any performance very intimate.
With two sold out runs which were interrupted by the dreaded Covid, Karp is now back with an updated show with uptodate references and is touring the whole of the UK.
This is an hilariously irreverent tribute to ‘the 2019 hit movie musical ‘cats’', as Linus insists on calling the critically mauled movie, is huge fun.
Delivered in Linus Karp’s cutely idiosyncratic Swedish accent it is sometimes hard to know if he is being serious or ironic. Whatever, we laughed anyway.
With an anarchic PowerPoint presentation causing chaos this is an entertaining and sometimes educational hour for both aficionados of the film and complete newbies.
How to live a jellicle life is on at Upstairs at The Globe again on Thursday 17th Feb. Go see it and be jellicle!
