Make contact with confetti
From the Bolton Evening News, first published Tuesday 1st Feb 2005.
JOHN Hegley is appearing in Uncut Confetti, his new show, at the Contact Theatre, Manchester, this Friday and Saturday, February 4 and 5.
Hegley, the bespectacled dog-loving poetic type, is widely known as one of the country's most innovative comic artists.
He is a regular sell-out at The Edinburgh Festival. He has also performed at the Comedy Festivals of Melbourne, Montreal & Aspen Colorado and at a Colombian womenÃs prison.
He recently played Vernon J Hines in Simon Callow's The Pajama Game. He is responsible for 9 books of poetry / prose / lyrics / drawings "and one mug."
Uncut Confetti is a new show of celebratory pieces consisting of "poetry, puppetry, comedy, camaraderie, tragedy, travesty and song. And tap-root dancing. A cascade of affirmation."
"This is the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe show with bonus bits," he said. "Romance, Rhymance and the day it all went bonkers in a Luton bungalow."
John Hegley's Uncut Confetti is at the Contact Theatre, Manchester, February 4 and 5. Ticket office 0161 274 0600.
