Cliffs Pavilion, Southend: Ben Elton - Authentic Stupidity

After the massive success of Ben Elton’s critically acclaimed, sold-out UK tour in 2019, which marked his return to live comedy after a 15-year break, the legendary figure of modern stand-up is hitting the road once again with his latest show – *Authentic Stupidity*.

Ben humorously remarks, “Since my last tour, a new existential threat has emerged! Apparently, Artificial Intelligence is set to destroy us all! But I think the real issue isn’t AI—it’s good old-fashioned Authentic Stupidity! Forget AI, it’s AS we should be worried about!”

Ben Elton first burst onto the scene in the 1980s as the host of Channel 4’s groundbreaking *Saturday Live* and has been setting the bar for sharp, taboo-challenging, high-energy comedy ever since.
