Nick Revell

Variations on the BBC Radio 4 series, including the tales: Vladimir Putin's Bottom Is Missing and Clash of the Hipster Shamans. 'As if JG Ballard has written an Edinburgh show from beyond the grave... profound and impressive and expertly delivered' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A sort of Jackanory for grown-ups... a fantastic device to do some satire, some politics, some observational humour and a load of silliness... Nick has the "surreal fiction for adults" genre to himself and he is its master. I left thinking I wish they would put it on telly' (Kate Copstick, Scotsman). 'Wonderful...consistently excellent' (Guardian).

An interview with Nick Revell

Without Nick Revell the Fringe, & indeed the entire world, wouldn't be as half as cool. The Mumble always finds it a pleasure to get together with the man for a wee blether...

Reviews

"This is a sort of Jackanory for grown-ups and it is great fun. Nick Revell's stories are a fantastic device to do some satire, some politics, some observational humour and a load of silliness... Nick pretty much has the 'surreal fiction for adults' genre to himself and he is its master. I left thinking I wish they would put it on telly." - Kate Copstick, Scotsman

"...as if JG Ballard has written an Edinburgh show from beyond the grave... profound and impressive and expertly delivered..." - Chortle

"Nick Revell has done for magic realism what Austin Powers did for James Bond." - Times
