SUMMARY:Verbal Diary
DESCRIPTION:"A Must for British Comedy Fans" - BristolWorld\n Verbal Diary
  is a chaotic feel good show accompanied with original music by “Rock an
 d Roll’s Greatest Failure”\, John Otway. Originally written by Otway a
 nd Paul Bradley (Eastenders\, Holby City\, Young Ones) it has a rich comed
 y history having been produced by the late great Rik Mayall. 40 years on\,
  after supporting John Otway at a festival\, Actor and Comedian Tom Johns
 on was given a free hand to rewrite and revive the show in his own way. Bo
 th Otway and Johnson have worked closely on reviving this comedy musical o
 riginally written in 1984\, with Tom keeping the spirit of irreverent and 
 anarchic comedy well alive in his writing.\nAfter a successfully received 
 run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024\, it is now going on tour around England
 …\n "Hidden Gem of the Fringe" - Fringe Review 5 STARS*****\n Part of 
 Chortle's 10 recommended plays to see if you're a comedy fan\, it follows 
 the life of Gordon. A hapless photographer who decides to take charge of h
 is life\, after his old one falls apart. He does this by adapting to two N
 ew Year's resolutions\; 1) to keep a diary and 2) get the girl. Which happ
 ens to be his new medical student flatmate\, Cheryl.\n But Cheryl\, along
  with the other two residents\, wide boy Phil and Tristram the pretentious
  artist\, have other ideas. Unbeknownst to Gordon\, his new flatmates star
 t to read his diary and anticipate his every move. Gordon must navigate hi
 s new world\, of chasing Cheryl\, trying to impress his unhinged boss Eric
  and building a friendship with Phil and Tristram. All while trying to mak
 e a name for himself as a photojournalist.\n"Verbal Diary is truly superb 
 in all of it's mayhem" - SlapMag\n This is a tale of the underdog. Strugg
 ling to find his way through friendship\, love\, loneliness and realising 
 that not everything has happy endings in the way he envisaged\, in this ab
 surd and warm hearted comedy. With a live guitarist and string section sho
 wcasing an excellent and interesting array of Otway's back catalogue and s
 pecially written tracks just for this production.\n To see it is "a must"
  - The Scotsman\n Oh\, and the Set? "It must be the best piece of creati
 ve design on display at the Fringe"... See for yourself.
