Sammy P | Why The Long Face

In 2018, Sammy Petersen collapsed onstage and quit standup comedy after 7 years. Two of his comedy mentors, both battling with addiction, had let him down time and time again. Then, standing on his own two feet, he was asked to write a book about his facial palsy called ‘Why The Long Face’. He started podcasting instead but always wanted to come back into the comedy world that gave him respite from his life growing up. This is his debut solo show.
