John Finnemores Priory Engagement

John Finnemores Priory Engagement

Well, spring is in the air, the snowdrops are gambolling in the meadows, the lambs are thrusting their little noses up through the earth, and the rabbits... I dont know what the rabbits are doing. Something springish. Cleaning, maybe. Anyway, what all this means for me is that its about time I organised another run of my sort-of-secret-unless-you-read-this-blog sketch nights, to try out material for the next series of my Radio 4 show, John Finnemores Souvenir Programme.

So... I have done. Unfortunately, the pub we used last year has turned its performance space into a restaurant, the food-crazed fools; but Ive found another I think will be even better: the excellent Priory Tavern in Kilburn. So, do please come along, if you fancy it, to John Finnemores Priory Engagement;  8pm every other Sunday starting in two weeks time, on the 18th March. Each show will be completely different material, mostly written in the fortnight before. Itll be about an hour and a half long, including interval, costs £7, and is suitable for ages 12 and up. Last years run featured Jekyll and Hydes domestic arrangements; what The Archers sounds like to people who dont listen to The Archers, and the chilling tale of the man who went for a walk... and saw a goat. What this years will feature, I literally do not yet know.

As an experiment to try to avoid people having to pay the ridiculous booking fees which were such a feature last year,  Ive put a list up here you can go to to book seats for the first three performances. There are only 80 seats per show, so do please take your name off again if it turns out you cant come.

Right! I suppose Id better go and write the first one, then...
