Melancholy Poontang (Edinburgh Comedy Festival Preview)
- £3
- Buy Tickets
A special preview of Jack Evans’ debut Edinburgh Fringe show. Silly stand-up, absurd animation and weird characters from the creator of Manchester’s acclaimed alternative comedy extravaganza Quippodrome. It kicks off with Jack’s trademark off-kilter stand-up, but when his loser mate Bald Eagle joins him, things get really weird. Meet Detective Inspector Horse Hand, a disgraced Scottish murder cop with a mutant hand; Barry Shafto, Bolton’s best (and cheapest) demon hunter and Maurice, the world’s foremost pick-up artist, men’s rights activist and generally despicable human being.
‘His bizarre demeanour had the audience howling’ (The Base)
‘Twisted genius’ (WOW 24/7).
‘Follow him down his dark path. You really should.’ (The Skinny).
‘Bizarre and intelligent’ (Manchester Wire).
