is a sprawling piece of storytelling. So it promises to be fun.
FUNNY HA-HA... Before I go any further, may I just offer a small apology?
For all of you who went to see a certain comedian on my recommendation and were heartily disappointed and/ or offended, what can I say? I understand that the whole thing was particularly unfunny and I can only say, in my own defence, that I am not my brother’s censor and when I’ve seen this guy before, he was superb. Adult, to be sure, but funny. Grovel
over...and the reason for this? Well, I hesitate to recommend yet another funny-man for your perusal, but I’m going to stick my neck out. James Sherwood graces The Flavel on 18th November and I include a couple of other people’s reviews about his performances: “Imaginative musical jokes and beautifully crafted original comedy
songs...The material he offers is fresh, contemporary and pin-sharp original. “ Guardian “If you ever wondered what would happen if Bill Bailey and Marcus Brigstocke had a child...” “Savage satire” Sunday Times The rest, as they say, is up to you. But I
laughed...and he’s a pretty good pianist too.
PIN BACK YOUR EARS A little further afield, this one, at Stoke Fleming Village
Hall on 18th November. The delightful Martha Tilston is playing, who writes the sort of acoustic music that if you were ever into Joni Mitchell, will strike an immediate chord with you. An evening to sit back with a glass of something pleasant, close your eyes and let the music take you where it will. November 24th sees a fund-raiser for the Children’s Hospice South West at The Flavel, in the company of the excellent Louise Parker Quartet. If jazz is your thing and a voice that gives every song an edge is your delight, you can do no better. Great musicians, varied repertoire and virtuoso inventiveness...even to the point of doing a Miles Davis number without a trumpet...spooky.
So, hardly ‘a tedious season’ I think you’ll agree. And please, if you have something going on, in an artistic vein, that you would like included in this section – I’m quite nice really! – then get in touch. I do my best to find out what’s happening around and about, but I have yet to master the art of plucking things from the ether without the aid of a computer! Emails are good –
maxtheokapi@msn.com will get to me, and I will reply. Honestly. (And you can take that whichever way you fancy!)
