Highly praised at the Edinburgh fringe, this two-handed tribute to Ian Dury arrives at the Courtyard over Christmas, providing a festive slice of fun for lovers of new wave punk rock.
Hit Me! takes the form of three conversations between the affable, hedonistic Dury and his roadie/minder/confidant Spider, beautifully played by Jud Charlton and Josh Darcy. The show also features live performances of seven of his best loved tracks.
This is a loving homage, not a serious biographical investigation of the man, but it does fill in details about a wonderful, flawed life and the motivations behind the music, the drugs and the TV voice-over work.
Great fun, completely involving and pretty much a must for serious fans of the man.
