PROFESSOR BRANESTAWM - 1998
Toby Hulse's adaptation of the Norman Hunter books for children at the Pleasance Theatre during the Edinburgh Fringe.

I was Colonel Dedshot in a hot uniform but catapult at the ready!

The Professor was Andrew Mackay and Emma Kennedy played Mrs Flittersnoop.

So much fun!


THE WAR OF THE WORLDS STORY - 1996

A show written and performed with Danny O'Brien and Dave Green of Special Projects.

We told the story of H.G. Wells' book, Orson Welles' radio play and Jeff Wayne's album; along the way paying tribute to various forms of science fiction and its fans. 
An awesome (if poorly attended) Edinburgh show!



OBLOMOV - 1996

Stephen Sharkey's adaptation of the novel by Goncharov.

Danny O’Brien played Oblomov in a bed that resembled the Eagle Lunar Lander.
Also starred Stewart Lee and Emma Kennedy, this was the first show I did with Erica Whyman. 

Also, I danced.


RA-RA-RASPUTIN - 1993

Richard Herring's brilliant first biography show of the mad Russian monk, set to the music of Boney-M.

I played the Tsar among other parts alongside Herring, Andrew Mackay, Sally Phillips and Clare de Vries.

HERE is a photo of us all!



IT HAPPENED TOMORROW - 1993

A sci-fi triple bill at the Edinburgh Fringe.

I wrote and narrated a time-travel whodunnit called 'Dead on Time' which turned into a sort of Twilight Zone spoof.

We sold 100% of the tickets but failed to get the rapturous praise in the press it deserved:
"One wonders how and why this ramshackle excuse for a show was cobbled together" (The Scotsman)
