John Hegley: New and Selected Potatoes

Poet, comic, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer John Hegley has captivated and devastated audiences all over the country in theatres, festivals and clubs, a heck of a lot of Edinburgh Festivals and numerous appearances on radio and television. This show demonstrates the breadth of his appeal, with seriously funny, cleverly comic poems and songs on everything from love, family, France, art and the sea to dogs, dads, gods, taxidermy, carrots, spectacles and – of course – potatoes.
