Comedian Sam Freeman brings storytelling rom-com to Harrogate's Cold Bath Brewing Co

Harrogate district's talented Wilmore is making big waves in music industry

The spoken word show tells the story about a chance encounter between two soulmates, how they fall in love, how they come to be apart and how they may meet again.

Sam Freeman, the show’s Yorkshire-born writer and performer who grew up in Leeds, said: “The show’s a beautiful mix of storytelling and comedy. It's warmly influenced by the Richard Curtis rom-coms like Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral but with a more whimsical, Northern feel.

"It has part of me written into it, places I’ve been and seen - from travelling home on the Transpennine express when the snow has fallen, to moments of being a hopeless (and often failed) romantic.

"It's a show written for the lonely hearted and those in love.”

Touring ten venues in the UK in March and April, the Every Little Hope You Ever Dreamed (But Didn’t Want To Mention) tour starts at The Clubhouse at Cold Bath Brewing Co in Harrogate at 7.30pm on Monday, March 14.

This solo rom-com - complete with a film backdrop - tells five stories that start separately and in isolation before gradually coming together as themes, characters, objects, words and callbacks combine in a rom-com for the lonely-hearted.

Yorkshire-born Sam Freeman grew up in Leeds and Scarborough, before training at the University Of Leeds and HKU Drama School in Utrecht, Netherlands.

His last play, Floating, about a high-dependency nurse in the NHS toured nationally while his last directorial project was Chris Chibnall’s footballing comedy Gaffer for Liverpool’s Unity Theatre.
