SHORTFUSE: Thursday May 4th, Islington, London


Having been almost - but not quite - as sick as the Monty Python Norwegian Blue recently, I've missed advertising a few Thursdays at SHORTFUSE. For which, many apologies to those expecting news of those world-famous Islington poetry nights. To make up for it now, here's both next week's Shortfuse line-up AND the week after's in advance:


COMEDY on Thursday 27th April:

BOB BOYTON - Cult star of the alternative comedy scene performs his acclaimed one-man play Bomber Jackson does some. 'Excellent' - The Guardian, 'The Joe Orton of alternative comedy' - The Scotsman

BARRY JONES & STUART MACLEOD - The second instalment from the subversive magicians as seen on Channel 4's Miracles of Jesus, and Dirty Tricks . A surreal mix of comedy and magic that will leave you reeling in bewilderment and laughter.


FOLLOWED BY SPOKEN WORD ON Thursday 4th May at 8.30pm:

DAN ANTOPOLSKI - A feature length stand-up performance from Perrier Award
nominee and cult star of BBCs Hyperdrive. 'Breathtaking stage presence makes even his having his pants on his head seem hilariously poetic' - The Independent

PLUS: SHORTFUSE EDINBURGH FRINGE PREVIEW PREVIEW
We unwrap the newest SHORTFUSE fringe show - A ripped up montage of darkly humoured writing and wry comedy scrapbooked onto the stage, soundtracked by original music, cross-fertilising genres and creating a slick theatrical show that is distinctly different. Featuring Nathan Penlington.

'Consistently original and accessible' - Chortle,
Rhian Edwards: 'Astounding' - BBC Radio 3,
Ritchie Scurvey: 'five star performance' - Ham & High,
and Suzanne Andrade: 'Hypnotically brilliant' - BBC Radio 3.

With Resident Host NATHAN PENLINGTON and resident DJ David Bush.

Every Thursday @ The Camden Head, Camden Walk, Islington, London, N1
Tube: Angel. Doors: 8.30pm. Admission: £5 waged / £3 concessions.
