Once again Jupitus revives his original performance incarnation and brings it to the Free Fringe. Old poems, new poems. Funny, political, quirky. With some old fashioned comedy thrown in.
Jupitus clearly has a way with words, a feel for language, and an ear for the rhythms and cadences of speech. There's everything from a seven verse epic to a series of haiku. And his project to produce a ten line poem for every day of the Fringe, using only show titles for each line, is fascinating.
Don't come to see a comedian, come for the words, the meaning, the poetry. And get some comedy as a bonus.
A very enjoyable hour.
Phill Jupitus is Porky the Poet in Apologist Now! is on in the Liquid Room Annexe at 17.20 until the 30th.
PS I wonder if any member of the audience will impress Phill more than my wife did when she admitted the first gig she ever went to was The Beatles....?
