TWO BRILLIANT EDINBURGH FRINGE PREVIEW SHOWS
+ a free BBQ
An award-winning comedy writer (South Park, Brass Eye and The Fast Show) and celebrity journalist for The Times, In Style and Glamour, Jane Bussmann tells a true story about inane celebrities, a Ugandan guerilla leader and an A-level failure from Muswell Hill borders trying to seduce a White House Director of African Affairs.
Directed by Sally Phillips (Green Wing, I am Alan Partridge)
Nominated for the Amnesty International Freedom of Expression Award
"one of the most passionate, smart, hilarious hours on the Fringe, packed with so many absurd one-liners that it's impossible to stop laughing, even as your brain buzzes with fury at the story she relates" (The Guardian)
"The polar opposite of Jeremy Clarkson sitting on an orphan and laughing" (Chris Morris)
The Worst Date Ever, book of the story is published by Macmillan on Fri 3 Jul and plans are already afoot for a film version - Jane is working on the script.
The Never Man is The Penny Dreadfuls brand new show for 2009. A terrifying new comedy thriller set on a mysterious themepark island.
The competition-winners are thrilled to wake up on Beef Island, the joyous themepark resort, full of your favourite beefy friends.
But there’s no way out for one man, waking up with a jolt, remembering nothing of his past. Beef by beef he starts to uncover the horrifying secret behind the island . . .
“The Penny Dreadfuls gleefully muck about with the expectations, producing a charming, silly and very funny hour of knockabout entertainment… The result is like an Austin Powers film, but with buckets more wit.” (Chortle)
All bills are booked in good faith but may be subject to change due to comedians being offered
ridiculous sums of money go on TV, or to play in the Middle East or some other wealthy/dangerous place.
