‘Scandalously talented’ Sunday Times
‘Awesomely mundane’ Independent
Performed 31 times to great acclaim at Edinburgh Fringe
Excerpts from The UK Comedy Guide Reviews 16/08/2021 by Steve Bennett of John Hegley at the Edinburgh Fringe:
“It’s a shame John Hegley only performed a handful of duties this fringe – his first after a three year gap -as his agreeable whimsy, distinctive comic perspective and ear-catching poems and songs make a joyous start for any festival day”
“He delivers hos poetry and stand-up with a subtle physical animation too. A sort of restrained but punish vibe as carefully controlled as the tricky rhymes in his verses. All part of the exquisitely curated package that is unmistakably Hegley.”
