After working on a radio show about Cornwall, Joanna Neary and Anna Keirle decided to get together and make their own stage show about what it’s like down here. The result is this unique and uncompromising comedy bonanza. Party on.
Inspired by the tradition of Cornwall’s Droll Story Tellers, Jo and Anna have combined character comedy, stand up and absurd physical theatre to tell their own true cautionary tales in this highly original celebration of all things Cornish. Including The Cornish Podcasters, skits, news, dances and sarcastic songs. Come and have a proper laugh and a beer.
You might recognise Jo from years ago, she played Judith in BBC’s Ideal with Johnny Vegas (they are doing a national stage tour of Ideal this autumn if you fancy that. Nearest show to here is in Wales though). She also worked at many places, including Saturday Girl at the beloved Camborne Audio Centre. Anna is a brilliant stand up and MC who runs Ymprovisa! improv club in Bodmin, has supported Frankie Boyle at Tunes in the Park and gigs regularly up and down the West Country.
