Angry Boater Live in Norwich

About the show

In 2000, Joel Sanders performed a run of comedy shows in Las Vegas. 26 years on, he's finally made it to Norwich. “Sharp, funny and completely original” Join the charismatic star of Channel 4’s ‘Narrow Escapes’ for his flagship show about dropping out of society to become a nomad on the UK’s waterways. Crisscrossing America, trying to become the first British comedian to perform in all 50 states, Joel spent a decade sharing the stage with his comedy heroes, including the late Robin Williams. But in 2008, a show in Tennessee went horribly wrong and, with 10 States remaining, Joel’s American adventures came to an abrupt end. He returned to England, bought a canal boat and started creating ‘Angry Boater.’ 18 years on, approaching 60, and still floating around, Joel was discovered by Channel 4, becoming an instant hit on the award-nominated series, ‘Narrow Escapes which documented Joel’s adventures including taking his narrowboat onto the sea at 3 am. If you are boaty, boat-curious or if you can’t imagine anything worse, expect a polished evening of comedy and stories unlike anything you’ll experience again. Along with the perils of living afloat with hypertension, Joel lifts the lid on several of his celebrity encounters (including chancing upon one of the biggest bands in the world and an awkward towpath encounter with a disgraced Hollywood A-Lister).
