2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

'Sublime...well-crafted, tender and life- affirming. Highly recommended'- FringeReview

Bohemian layabout, armchair revolutionary and poet Jonny Fluffypunk has become a father. Who is he to shape a young life? Man Up, Jonny Fluffypunk!: Part lo-fi spoken word theatre, part stand-up, part publicly-funded cry for help. Man Up is a funny and poignant little show about big dreams and little victories, about fatherhood and insecurity, about finding the hero within, however unpromising the exterior. A defiant expedition to the heart of the struggle for self-belief, even, armed only with a cardboard suitcase. WARNING: Contains anarcho-syndicalism and amateur puppetry.

After debuting at the Brighton Fringe Festival in May 2014, the show has played in venues as diverse as a Gloucestershire shed, WOMAD Festival and Leicester Square Theatre. Currently scheduling a tour for late spring / early summer 2015. A tour, hopefully, of odd and unusual spaces, taking live art and laughter into garden sheds, living rooms, back rooms of cafes... that sort of thing. If you've got a shed, a living room, a cafe sporting a back room, or anything a few people can squeeze into, without being rained on, then let's talk. Hopefully there'll be funding. And cake.
