MR FLUFFYPUNK'S PENNY GAFF is back!!! feat. Rob Auton & Malaika Kegode
ROB AUTON
After too long off, we're getting back on our feet. And what better way to move from dormancy back into the glorious vortex that is being, than with the annual visit of our old friend Rob Auton, with his latest Edinburgh smash, The Time Show.
‘The Time Show’ is a comedy/theatre/spoken word show about time. It is suitable for people who know of time. Following on from his shows about the colour yellow, the sky, faces, water, sleep, hair and talking, award winning writer and performer Rob Auton turns his attention to time.
The second-best-reviewed show in the whole of the Edinburgh Festival 2019!!
‘A genuine original. Poetical, philosophical, humane, and funny to boot. (The Guardian). ‘We need him’ (The Scotsman). ‘Charming, eccentric and uplifting, Auton is a talent to watch’ (The Independent).
Bristol- based Malaika Kegode is a poet, promoter, spoken word artist and ukelele-wielderl who has performed all around the UK, including celebrated venues and festivals such as Tongue Fu, Out-Spoken at The 100 Club, WOMAD, Boomtown Festival and BBC at the Edinburgh Festival. In 2017 she was support for Saul Williams at The Fleece. She's the founder and co-director of Bristol's ace MILK poetry.
Malaika’s work tells of how we can find beauty and hope through the darkness. Her overall themes of family, mental health, addiction and love always have an undercurrent of optimism and strength. Her performance style has been described as “filmic” and “musical”. Malaika’s debut poetry collection Requite was published by Burning Eye Books in 2017, and a brand spanking new one, 'Thalassic', is just out!

"Malaika Kegode is a spoken word Artist of sincere roots with warm hearted words that blossom into rich ripe musings.” - Gina Sherman, Apples and Snakes South West Co-ordinator
PLUS your host, Jonny Fluffypunk, who'll do some NEW STUFF and oh, there's the usual daft competition and a prize.
