John Hegley performs Monsieur Robinet

Radio 4’s favourite poet John Hegley, is on tour with a unique collection of poems and songs about sheds, wearing glasses, bad dogs, Luton and blancmange. The audience is a really mixed affair comprising children of all ages and adults with a juvenile sense of humour. There were funny songs, sing alongs and a chance for one audience member to translate some parts of the show from French into English.

John’s new show inspires the younger members of the audience to get really excited about poetry and word sounds even those that don’t even rhyme! And for those children fortunate enough to wear glasses – John welcomes them with open arms – as they are the intelligent future of the UK. If you have wear contact lenses or have had eye surgery probably best to keep it to yourself.

The show is touring the UK and with reviews such as
‘Awesomely mundane’ The Independent,
‘Makes little sense’ Luton News
and ‘Like a good deed in a naughty world’ Herts Advertiser
– you know it going to have audiences of all ages spellbound.

The tour continues throughout the Spring see www.johnhegley.co.uk/thistour/index.htm
