John Hegley – New & Selected Potateoes
4 April 2026 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
A greatest hits, best of compilation – with some new stuff – from ‘comedy’s poet laureate’ (The Independent)
Poet, comic, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer, John Hegley has captivated and devastated audiences all over the country, in theatres and festivals, at gigs at the Edinburgh Festival, and with numerous appearances on radio and television. This show demonstrates the breadth of his appeal, with seriously funny, cleverly comic poems on everything from love, family, France, art and the sea to dogs, dads, gods, taxidermy, carrots, spectacles and – of course – potatoes
