Sammy Petersen: Why The Long Face (Live Taping)


Friday 10 October, 6:15pm

In 2018 Sammy Petersen collapsed onstage and quit stand-up comedy after seven 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.
