Comedy

 

Chortle Award Winner and Perrier Award nominee Alex Horne tours his hugely successful 2008 comedy show, Wordwatching.

 

The show charts Alex’s hilarious quest to get an invented word into the dictionary. After making considerable progress his verbal inventions have appeared on several grown up TV shows, in almost all of the national newspapers and page 2 of Eurofruit, the leading trade magazine for fresh produce buyers in Europe.

 

Wordwatching is a hi-tech joke-filled extravaganza tracking the highs and lows of this ambitious, ridiculous campaign. A book based on the show will be released to coincide with the tour. The book is entitled Wordwatching and is published by Virgin Books, January 2010.

 

Alex co-created, writes and co-hosts the new comedy quiz We Need Answers airing soon on BBC4 and is widely renowned among critics, comics and audiences as a thoughtful and original stand-up, writer and solo performer.

 

“Rather like a rare bird … he is a fragile delight, covering any subject with a daft, surreal charm.”
Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times

Unpacked: Jumping Mouse

Theatre

 

A half term treat for ages 5+

Jump on the second bus – the driver’s saved you a seat. Here’s Martin, who’s having a bad day (it’s tough being 9 ½). Come with him and meet a bullfrog blues band, a clapped-out bison, a forgetful wolf... and a very unusual little mouse, who’s about to have a very big adventure.

Unpacked use live music and songs, puppetry, high-octane physicality and bits of a London bus to tell a magical story about growing up, adapted from a well-loved Native American folktale.

 

"Fun-filled, inspiring and entertaining."
