Twonkey's 10th show is about grotesque cake decorating shop in the Dordogne that has been secretly making fake weather since 1982. Mr Twonkey says, 'Last week I knocked on the door licking my lips in anticipation. The shopkeeper opened the door, a tiny woman who was all baggy eyes with a hard miserable face and fast little legs. I had made a horrible mistake?' 'He creates wonderlands of weird' **** (Scotsman). 'Mind-bending fables' **** (Times). 'An operatic imagination' **** (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk). 'A one-man cornucopia of the bizarre' **** (FringeGuru.co.uk). Winner: Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality.
