Edward Bourne's Sketchbook
Multiple dates and times
Alma Tavern and Theatre, BS82HY
Description
8pm Thursday 12th Jan & 8pm Thursday 26th Jan
“Have you ever felt like a hollow sim in a glitchy video game, taking time time to self-narrate your moves in marvellous dismay?”
Songs become sketches and sketches become songs as Edward Bourne embarks on his first gig as a jazz keyboardist, only to find it overrun by an hour-long string of sketchy flashbacks.
Make some room for a fast feast of comedy sketches from Edward Bourne’s Sketchbook. Prepare for voiceover fantasies, roughly chopped by a horrifying haircut, some mildly medieval miss-steps in romantic courtship, a tutor on trial, a mastermind appearance that takes the mickey, and a terrifying(ly awkward) T-Rex impersonation.*
Hot off his 2018-20 run in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical (supporting lead thank you very much), Edward Bourne kicks off his 2023 with a work-in-progress of his first solo show.
*This is a staggeringly accurate synopsis of the show. That’s it. Seriously
All tickets include a £1 booking fee
Approx running time 1 hour (no interval)
