MICF: Charlie Pickering – How to Tame a Wild Squirrel

After a four-year hiatus from standup comedy, and with successful TV hosting gigs now firmly under his belt, Charlie Pickering has returned to the stage.

Charlie Pickering

Playing only three shows during MICF, How to Tame a Wild Squirrel moves quickly from witty crowd banter through to topics such as current affairs, news programming, and the impacts of the internet.

Demonstrating his mastery of storytelling, Pickering’s material is sharp and polished, garnering plenty of laughter. Charlie Pickering’s stand up is clever, a touch highbrow, and unfailingly funny.
