John Hegley: New And Selected Potatoes

Comedy Doors: 7:15 pm Show Starts: 8:00 pm

Advance Price: £17

A greatest hits, best of golden oldies compilation – with some new stuff – from ‘Comedy’s poet laureate’ (Independent).

Poet, comic, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer, John Hegley has captivated and devastated audiences all over the country, in theatres and festivals, at gigs at the Edinburgh Festival, and with numerous appearances on radio and television. This show demonstrates the breadth of his appeal, with seriously funny, cleverly comic poems on everything from love, family, France, art and the sea to dogs, dads, gods, taxidermy, carrots, spectacles and – of course – potatoes.

‘John Hegley is to potatoes what Wordsworth has been to daffodils’ – Observer.

Suitable for adults, the odd nine-year-old, and anyone in-between.
