About
SATURDAY 4TH MARCH, 2023 AT 8 PM
After his hilarious feature set as part of SproutSpoken's birthday event in November, stand-up poet, storyteller and lo-fi theatremaker Jonny Fluffypunk returns to Newquay with his new full length show about searching for the hero inside yourself, without involving M-People.
If We Just Keep Going We Will Get There In The End is inspired equally by idleness, ancient myths, and Grayson Perry’s Art Club. It’s part story, part on-theme poetic digression and part community support group. It’s a show about celebrating the glory of small things; about love and strength and finding some sort of meaning. By turns funny, absurd, and touching, there’s a pilgrimage across London with a home-made effigy of a dead dog, the tragedy of throwing your childhood home into a skip, and an epiphany beside a derelict canal. There are poems, bits with a ukulele, opportunities for supported sharing, and who knows what else? The world keeps throwing curveballs; the best-laid plans are thrown into chaos, and Jonny’s plans are rarely that. But that’s what this show is really all about: fragile humans, and the ways we have to find to cope with it all.
Acute social observation, intricate humour, surreal fantasy, sharp irony and wit ...and England's most pretentious moustache.
(The Independent)
Sublime... well-crafted, tender and life-affirming. Highly Recommended.
