Chris Neill and Nick Revell work up
material for their new Radio series
+++++
Chris will be performing material from his
forthcoming Radio 4 series Woof: One Man's Search For A Dog Or A
Boyfriend. There are no prizes for guessing what it's about.
Unfortunately he'll have to do all the voices himself and so may bring a range
of hats to aid comprehension.
+++++
Nick Revell’s forthcoming BBC R4 show, BrokenDreamCatcher,
will be a series of surreal and satirical stories.
"Nick Revell has done for magic realism
what Austin Powers did for James Bond.” Times
"...as if JG Ballard has written an
Edinburgh show from beyond the grave... profound and impressive and expertly
delivered...” Chortle
Gluten Free Jesus - 7 Easy Steps to
Mindfulness, Weight-Loss, Eternal Beauty, Spiritual Detox, Untold Riches & Dealing
with Disappointment - in which the secret world of the One Per Cent is
revealed, including what happened when Jesus returned to Earth. Without wanting
to reveal to much, this entails explaining the truth behind the headline Body
Of Christ Found In Value-Burger.
Nick Revell vs Lily, Evil Cat-Queen of
Earth Planet and the Laughing Fridge. A super-intelligent cat
gains global celebrity-status through social media and with a horde of
zombie rodents, threatens to take over the world.
"…a sort of Jackanory for grown-ups and it
is great fun. Nick Revell’s stories are a fantastic device to do some satire,
some politics, some observational humour and a load of silliness...Nick pretty
much has the ‘surreal fiction for adults’ genre to himself and he is its
master. I left thinking I wish they would put it on telly.” Kate Copstick, Scotsman

Bottom is Missing, BrokenDreamCatcher, Central Asia’s Most Brutal
