Britain's What's On Event Guide
A Night With Paul Mayhew Archer
Many of you will know Paul Mayhew Archer as the co-writer of The Vicar of Dibley and Mrs Browns Boys, more recently he has become an incredible advocate for the Parkinson's community, since his diagnosis in 2011. He is a role model for so many people with the condition, trusted to speak honestly about what living with Parkinson's means for him and admired for his dedication to remain positive in the face of adversity.
His show Incurable Optimist (which was very close to being named Vicar of Dribbly, thanks to one of the many Parkinson's symptoms) was a huge success at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and has also gone on to sell out at other branches for Parkinson's UK.
Describing the event himself, Paul says:
“I’ve taken the show to the Edinburgh Fringe and all over the country, and people seem to love it, whether or not they have Parkinson’s. They laugh a lot, some cry a little and we all feel better at the end.”
Now he is coming to Billericay! All funds raised for this event will go toward helping our local community branch at Billericay & District Parkinson's UK Support Group. The event will be our first major event since Covid hit and we are beyond excited to welcome you all: those with Parkinson's, those caring for people with Parkinson's, those who want to show their support or those who are just a massive fan of comedy.
We will also be hosting a raffle on the night and there will be people on hand if you wish to know more about Parkinson's and why your support is so important to us. Any donations will be greatly accepted, any money raised on the night will directly go to the Billericay & District Parkinson's Support Group.
The Support Group aims to provide information, support and advice for people with Parkinson’s, their carers, families and friends. The Branch meet in-person at various events, activities and our monthly meetings.
