2011 Edinburgh Fringe

'Him off the Viz' opens the beef curtains of his big hairy Fringepiece, revealing a deep wet otter's pocket of fishy material. A new hour of characters interspersed with anecdotes from a life spent writing fanny synonyms. Show title bears no relation to content; a shameless ploy to get Fringe-goers to plunge their fists deep into their furry purses. 'A joy, thoroughly entertaining' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Simply fantastic' (Gigglebeats.co.uk), 'A must-see, a northern gem ... brilliant!' (Accent). 'Pure deadpan ... superb, inventive comedy' (Stage), 'A Geordie visionary, he changed the way the world laughs forever' (Stewart Lee).
