Description

Biscuit of Destiny if the new show from celebrated poet and musician John Hegley. Across a 90-minute performance, John introduces a clutch of new verses, a few older favourites and a cardboard camel with a moving jaw.

The biscuits in the show derive from a phrase used by Romantic poet, John Keats 'a scarcity of buiscuit' - neither the subject matter nor the spelling you would expect from a Romantic poet. The show delves into the more eccentric side of Keats, alongside everyday goings-on in the Hegley homes of now and yesteryear. It includes seven drawings of elephants, myths, discos, daleks, optional community singing and the search for a sense of worth.

The show won a 'Lustrum Award' at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022. John has toured nationally and internationally for 40 years, appearing regularly on BBC Radio and developing a cult audience.

'Scandalously talented ' Sunday Times
'Agreeable whimsy, distinctive comic perspective and ear-catching poems and songs' Chortle
?Makes little sense? Luton News
'Just because he is one of the funniest men alive, do not underestimate his dedicated genius' Adrian Mitchell, New Statesmen

Age Advisory: This show is made with adults in mind, but may be suitable for the odd nine-year-old.

John will sell and sign books after the show.
