Rich Hardisty
Warming up for his 3 week run at London's SOHO Theatre Rich Hardisty brings his show POP to Fairfield Social Club.
A hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of family, trauma and redemption, POP. is the extraordinary true story of Rich Hardisty’s search for the father he has never met.
In 2011, following psychiatric treatment and a mania-induced epiphany, Rich flies to New York with no money or plan.
Armed with little more than a name Rich tries everything in the hope of finding the seemingly untraceable man, and answers to questions that have plagued him his whole life. Desperate, he searches everywhere, with the help of some endearing strangers along the way.
However, when Rich finally does find his father, it doesn't go as anticipated.
A nostalgic emotional rollercoaster, POP will leave you believing that dreams can come true…Just sometimes not in the way we imagined.
