‘Ivor’s New Show’

An experiment

It took me over five years to complete my current solo show ‘This is Not  A Subject for Comedy’.  I want to write the next one in three weeks. 

To speed things up a bit, I plan to develope the new show’s content by joining forces with others who’d like to take part in the writing process.  The obvious way to do this is through performance.

So I’ll conduct an experiment at this year’s Edinburgh fringe where each day groups of people enter the performance space and wait to be entertained.  My aim is for the entertainment to arise out of the their interaction with me and each other. 

The shows will be creative sessions in which complete strangers will be encouraged to contribute their own thoughts and ideas.  It’ll be my job to the lead the sessions and to assimilate all the stuff that comes up into a freshly devised whole. 

 If you’re up in Edinburgh this year I hope you’ll can get along to at least one of the sessions. 

Full details about the run can be found here and for those who want to contintinue their involvement after they’ve been along  there’ll be a Facebook group.

Hope to see you there.
