A multi-MEdia spectacular with the emphasis on the ‘me’. This show celebrates my meteoric rise to z celebrity status together with my joyous and inevitable slide into physical and mental decline.

Poetry, photos, jokes, music, dance, song, circus skills, costume changes, props and stories, exploring where I went wrong in life and lessons you can learn from my mistakes.

Socrates once said ‘A life unexamined is not worth living’ well this show sets out to prove that a life examined can be just as futile

A live performed memoir with cautionary verse from poet, film and Tv producer/writer Henry Normal An adventure into understanding the human condition from the inside.

Like Fantastic Voyage but with the tiny submarine injected into your mind 2 sets x 45 mins each with a 20 min interval in between.
Books for sale after the show.
