Venue, Timing and Cost
The Immigrant is a hilarious and heart-warming slapstick comedy inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s original film. Chris Michael has captured the spirit of the film and re-worked the content to tell a story of modern times.
This delightful show tells the story of people starting a new life in The West today. It is based on hundreds of accounts of what it’s like to arrive in a strange country, trying to fit in when you stand out.
“Beautifully timed buffoonery…skills honed to perfection” – The Oxford Times
