Leicester Square Theatre Presents GINGER IS THE NEW BLACK
Following its sell out run at Edinburgh Fringe 2016, musical comedian James Wilson-Taylor is back at the Leicester Square Theatre with his brand new show GINGER IS THE NEW BLACK - a one man musical comedy that takes a hilarious, sideways look at the history of redheads, and how stereotyping has affected them, and society, through the ages.
Join James as he attempts to end the bullying and rebrand gingers for 2016. With the help of inspiring, famous gingers we know and love, like: Ed SHeeran, Ron Weasley, Prince Harry and Disney characters, James will parody his way through his chorus of appeal; pun his audience into satirical submission, whilst he gets everyone on board with his message, that Ginger really Is The New Black.
James and was a semi-finalist in the 2016 Musical Comedy Awards and debut show, I Need A Doctor: The Whosical, won the MTN (Musical Theatre) Award for Best Newcomer. He has also recently written for BBC Newsjack (Radio 4 Extra).
