Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. But where is it? And more importantly: why did he pick it? And even more importantly: what has the mysterious cabbage-bearded Clachan Shanda got to do with it? The Mafia are muscling in to the fruit and veg market. The State is behaving twice as bad. Ms Muffet’s swapped her tuffet for the psychiatrist’s sofa. Plus Peter Piper’s got a talking Pea on his shoulder; a talking Pea with a past. Revelations come thick and fast in this marvellously surprising spectacle of a performance. Ages 14+.

1. Tom Tabori – 22 Jun 2012, 5:21pm Peter Piper - The Man Behind the Legend Report: I saw a preview of this show at the international Velela! arts festival in Mile End in London. It was some of the most original character-based stand up I've ever seen. The comedy was on-point and laugh-out-loud funny, whilst the piece as a whole worked as theatre, touching on quite dark, Jekyll&Hyde subject matter. Quinn fuses elements of clowning, lyric and straight stand up, but the writing underneath is what makes it. Great stuff. Someone to look out for.
