The Tringe continues with another wonderful night of comedy. Tringe favourites Raymond and Mr Timpkins return for the first time since 2018. They are joined by the brilliant Dominic Frisby with anecdotes, jokes and music accompanied by one of Europe’s top jazz pianists, Chad Lelong, on keyboards.
Previously list Susie McCabe has had to cancel for personal reasons.
It's a marathon, not a sprint. The Tringe Festival Passport is a famous part of the festival. Enjoy 21 nights with the one ticket.
An overload of velvet, sandals and multi-hued wool provides a startling accompaniment, the whole effect being that of a slim man and a fat man putting their bums in your face.
In “Trifle”, Raymond is getting just a little bit tired of Mr Timpkins’ awfulness but then again Mr Timpkins is getting a little sick of Raymond’s nonsense. Multiple bust ups, an unusually vociferous but very young antique expert equals nearly an hour of complete twittery and nonsense.
If you like music and let’s face it, who doesn’t, you’ll like it. If you like silliness, middle aged men dancing and unsavoury acts, you’ll probably love it.
You should try it either way. See you there.
An experienced stand up and prolific writer of comic songs, Dominic's new show is a collection of anecdotes, jokes and music accompanied by one of Europe’s top jazz pianists, Chad Lelong, on keyboards.
Dominic's Brexit song, "17 Million F**k Offs" reached no 40 in the UK Official Singles Chart and no 17 in the iTunes chart and he has in excess of 3 million views of this and other of his songs on Youtube and social media. A prominent libertarian, his take on modern Britain and the issues it faces is both refreshing and funny. . As he says himself, “If you believe in things like free speech and free trade, you’ll like this. If you think the government, BBC or EU has all the answers, you won’t.”
Rumour has it he is Nigel Farage's favourite comic but that might just be because he wrote a love song to him". Not suitable for statists, crony capitalists or the metropolitan liberal elite
