REVIEW: Sometimes when we touch – James Graham’s The Man is a triumph - Cheeselogs The Man is the sum of their memories, so much so that when it comes to the annual chore of the tax return, old receipts are vital memory triggers.

A revival of James Graham's The Man is at @southstreetarts.bsky.social for a two-night run. The one-man show is well worth seeing ... who said tax had to be taxing? #rdguk #TheMan #JamesGraham Tickets from @rdgwhatson.bsky.social
cheeselogs.co.uk/2025/07/03/r...

James Graham's The Man proves that tax doesn't need to be taxing, even in 2010 - Cheeselogs Tax returns. One of the worst annual ‘treats’ we have. So spare a thought for Ben Lewis in The Man … he has to do it with an audience.

Ahead of the one-man show, starring and produced by Reading people, we interviewed Ben Lewis - the show is at @southstreetarts.bsky.social this Thursday and Friday. #rdguk You can read our exclusive interview here: cheeselogs.co.uk/2025/06/28/t...
