Additional information

John Hegley, the star of radio, TV and school assemblies unleashes a wild alphabetic menagerie in a live show full of daft and deft wordplay, sing-along numbers and, against all advice, a selection of 'drawings'. Inspired by his A-to-Z of creatures, people, pets and their peculiarities; this performance is packed with Hegley’s humour and warmth. From Alligator to Zombie, via dogs, deckchairs and guillemots; expect audio and visual stimulation, entertainment, and thought provocation.

Suitable for anyone who has ever been six years old.

"Delightfully off beam... his skewed and fantastical vision informs even the most normal-seeming creatures." - Armadillo magazine

"Family life would be a lot easier if you could just open the cupboard and pull out your Hegley every time things got fractious, heated or miserable" - The List
