Words Don’t Come Easy

Inspired by the amazing audience reaction to his deconstruction of song lyrics in his Best Medicine Tour combined with his fascination with the vagaries of the English Language, Dave’s hilarious new show examines many more situations in life where words really don’t come easy. These include tongue-tied parents explaining the facts of life, ridiculous newspaper stories, poems, pathetic adolescent chat-up lines, hospital speak, learning a foreign language and an extended selection of song lyrics that range from the lazy through surreal to the ridiculous. Throw in a Champion the Wonder Horse sing-a-long, a look at Ancient Abyssinian Contraception, Rubbish School Trips, Epidural Anaesthesia and The Last Supper and you have all the ingredients for a rich and spicy comedy casserole - a sort of Lexicon-Carne! Sorry.
