Joel Sanders left a stand-up career in Las Vegas for life on a narrowboat.

18 years later, he's still working out if it was the best decision he ever made.

This isn't a cosy show about canal life.

It's about what happens when you leave the life you're supposed to have...
and try to build something else.

Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.

Angry Boater is a unique blend of stand-up and storytelling - funny, honest and completely original.

Joel spent years performing across America, from redneck bars in the Deep South to theatres and casinos in Las Vegas, chasing a simple goal: to become the first British comedian to perform in all 50 states.

He made it to 40.

Then one night changed everything.

Nearly two decades later, still floating around the UK's waterways, he has turned his experiences into a show that's as unpredictable as the life behind it.

Expect sharp humour, unexpected turns, and stories that go far beyond canal life.

"Razor-sharp wit... masterful storytelling... completely original."

As seen on Channel 4's Narrow Escapes.

Running time 130 (approx) including interval.
