Adrian Poynton

Saturday, 29 August 2009 - Sunday, 30 August 2009

The Camden Head (formerly Liberties Bar), 100 Camden High Street, Camden, NW1 0LU

Comedy: , Stand Up

How Much: £8.00 (Entry)
Stand up comedian and multi award-winning writer Adrian Poynton comes to the Camden Fringe with his brand new show. Mixing uplifting stories with observations, ponderings and improvisation, Poynton is one of Britain's friendliest comedic talents.

Going through some things at his parents house Adrian came across an old photo from his very first class at school. He realised he didn't know anyone on it any more. In fact he knew nothing about any of them at all. Where were they? What were they doing? Who was alive, who was dead?

Finding out seem a bit too much like hard work so Adrian just made it up. Using the little bits of info he did remember about them (Adam Wheeler loved boats, Katy Chapman collected flowers) Adrian made up their lives for the past 20 years... and now he'd like to tell you all about them.

Stories collide and lives take the most surprising and hilarious turns in a series of stories and lies.
