What is Simon Amstell: I Love It Here?
Simon Amstell is back with a brand-new stand-up show - funnier, truer, and more healing than anything ever before or after.
At a friend’s beach house just outside Los Angeles, Simon finally finds peace: he is in love, free, released from the need to perform. But when an invitation arrives from the man who first ignited his teenage desire, that fragile calm is thrown into chaos.
What follows is a desperate, hilarious attempt at surrender, during a night of overwhelming stimulation - the raw material for this extraordinary new show.
