This August I’ll be at Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the entire run. That’s the first twenty-five days in August, but a note to any prospective burglars, my house in Sheffield will be occupied during that time by my wife who has been practising martial arts. Anyway, the show is called The Eagle Is Candid. Here’s the poster, the show blurb, and a link for you to buy tickets in advance of August, which helps minimise the chance of me having a mental breakdown, thanks.
Blind comedian and folk singer tells tales of his adventures travelling the world. Accosted by faith healers, aggressive Australians, and a near-arrest after a nocturnal accordion-based anti-social incident. The show also includes a couple of his comedy songs, one of which was described by the Guardian as “a comic tour de force”; and another one which wasn’t.
Best Variety Show, Leicester Comedy Festival. “Brilliant/nuts. Heartily recommend!” (Rufus Hound.)
A regular on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show. Three-time winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Leicester square Theatre New Comedian Of The Year.
(Directed by Ben van Der Velde.)
