Doc Brown: Unfamous @ Soho Theatre
Brilliant rapper-turned-comedian Doc Brown (or as he calls himself  the "
Fresh Prince of Bell-End") recalls the remarkable events that, for him, should have spelt infamy. But only spelt unfamy, as he left behind a life playing crowds of 40,000 people to follow his comedy dream.
