Have you ever kicked a potato into the sea? Lee Kyle has. It's great but it's not the answer to your problems or anything. Unless your problem is that your sea doesn't have enough potatoes in, which it almost certainly isn't. He's back at the Fringe patiently waiting for whatever it is he doesn't know he wants or something. 'Whip smart joke' (One4Review.co.uk). 'Very funny' (Manchester Evening News). 'Had everyone on their feet - sublimely ridiculous' (Northern Echo). 'A brilliant performance, pure genius!' (NARCMagazine.com).

Over the next three weeks 7,000 brochures will be distributed around the city by the Working-Class Fringe, a grouping of 70 acts publicising performers from across Britain proud to acknowledge their proletarian roots. This little white guidebook is badged with a spanner and a microphone, the symbol of the revolution. Lee Kyle, 39, a softly spoken Geordie with a ready smile, is the leader of the uprising.
