Christopher Bliss' Literary Salon

London's Least Relevant Literary Salon

Christopher Bliss' Literary Salon features award-winning comedian Rob Carter in his guise as the terrible but naively enthusiastic novelist Christopher Bliss and Luke Courtier (★★★★★ The Good Review, ★★★★ 'a breath of fresh air' Broadway Baby) and a monthly guest in the shape of an actual, published novelist. 

ABOUT THE SHOW

Charming misfit Christopher Bliss (★★★★ 'one of this years hidden treasures...consistently, pant-wettingly funny' Fest) writes 3-4 novels a day and has now decided to share his wit and wisdom with aspiring writers. At this monthly literary salon Christopher will meet and read from the works of published novelists and give his personal feedback. Additionally he'll be reading from his new novels and doling out extra advice to anyone who wants it. Probably all of you?
