The Joy of Sox

Another Fringe event last night at Komedia to see the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre. Managed to get front row seats though was slightly distracted at being able to see the bloke behind the screen preparing his socks.

My previous post included a link to a YouTube video of their opening song, 'I'm a sock'. This led to some inter-sock banter and the misunderstanding of Halloween as hello Ian. The postcode conversation was very funny which went along the lines of 'do you know the postcode for Sheffield?' with the reply of 'S', 'Will you tell me the postcode for Sheffield?', 'S'. This went on with another postcode 'OK'...you get the idea. There were a few one dimensional jokes and scenes which could have tested anyone's patience but the puppets came back with some cracking content like a Brighton special performance of Sock Mods and Rockers and EMOs. The last scene was a sock version of Romeo & Juliet.

Kerry reminded me of a free event we're doing tonight. Jonathan Kay performs his 'jester/fool' type performance tonight. This isn't the Scottish bearded guy you might have seen on TV that I've always got confused with. I've seen him before at Glastonbury where he somehow got the audience to follow him out of the tent pied piper like to preform tricks on unsuspecting festival goers en-mass.

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
