Praise for 'No Planet B or the history of the world backwards':

"Fine and funny, always challenging Newman in 'No Planet B: the History of the World Backwards', where he hurtles from 2006 to the creation myth of the Neanderthals, looks at the massive social changes coming to us and tells the story of doomed lovers in a show thats part play, part musical and naturally part stand-up." Time Out

"Comedy, it seems, is the new non-hierarchical anarcho-syndicalism." The Times

"Britains most intellegent comedian" The Guardian

"Hurtling from 2006 to the Creation Myth of the Neanderthals (via Black Panthers, Shah of Iran, the Women's Movement, Elephant Man, Galileo and Columbus) there has never been a more epic show on the London stage than No Planet B - The History Of The World Backwards. No Planet B - The History Of The World Backwards is a meditation upon the massive social changes which are coming to us all as a result of Peak Oil and Cimate Chaos; and a critique of European power in the world. It's also about loneliness and loss: the story of doomed lovers John and Patches in the London Blitz is passed on from historical character to character, from Thomas Hardy, to Shakespeare to Jesus. Part play, part musical, part stand-up, this is a genre-busting dramatic piece." What's On
