Paul Foot has just announced a new run of his infamous Secret Shows.

For fans of left-of-field comedy, Paul’s secret shows are an opportunity to see one of the industry’s most unique talents at his most experimental. The shows take place at an undisclosed mystery location and they tend to be a big draw for Paul’s fan base of Connoisseurs.

He’s described the next set of special gigs as “a series of Nautical-themed Secret Shows”, saying: “They will contain specially created fantasies from my mind, such as:

• The deluded Pirate Uncle makes a Teen Lad walk the plank in a park in Peterborough
• Admiral Fudge drops more than just his anchor during the inspection of the Fleet
• A mermaid has unrealistic demands on the Dover to Dieppe car ferry

…and many more maritime sessions. The high seas are our oyster. The oceans, our back yard.”

If that sound like your thing, get yourself over to Paul’s website (the password is “hobbyhorse”) and book yourself a ticket – they often sell out. There are three taking place in London on 29th September, 1st October and 12th October. Tickets are obtusely priced at £12.12.
