About the Show

Emmy and SAG Award winner Brendan Hunt (Ted Lasso’s co-creator/writer/“Coach Beard”) presents his hilarious new one-man show fueled by bittersweet memories of his Chicago childhood, a love for The Beatles that got him through it and the tongue-tied moment he met Paul McCartney.

The Movement You Need is a laugh-filled love letter to the family that makes us, the music that shapes us and the crazy shit life throws our way.

The Beatles are my favorite band, “Hey Jude” is my favorite song and “the movement you need” is part of my favorite lyric from that song. The relevance of it will become apparent during the show, but one of the reasons is that the full line- “the movement you need is on your shoulder”- makes no damn sense at all. It’s a bit of semi-nonsense in the middle of a masterpiece. I LOVE THAT.
