About
A greatest hits compilation – with some new stuff – from ‘comedy’s poet laureate’ – The Independent
Poet, comic, singer, songwriter and glasses- wearer John Hegley has captivated and devastated audiences all over the country, in theatres, festivals and clubs, a heck of a lot of Edinburgh Festivals and numerous appearances on radio and television. This show demonstrates the breadth of his appeal, with seriously funny, cleverly comic poems and songs 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’ – The Observer
‘Just because he is one of the funniest men alive, do not underestimate his dedicated gentleness’ – New Statesman
‘Scandalously talented’ – Sunday Times
The book of the show, New and Selected Potatoes, is published by Bloodaxe Books and is widely available.
