Stroud's Alternative Cabaret for the discerning!
Hosted by stand-up poet and sustainable nihilist, Jonny Fluffypunk, Mr Fluffypunk's Penny Gaff brings you the best in off-kilter spoken word, comedy, performance art, music and... well, anything.
Featuring this time:
ALAN PARKER, URBAN WARRIOR
Multi award-winning comedian Simon Munnery reprises his notorious alter ego, the bedsit anarchist Alan Parker, Urban Warrior.
Once the most radical, now the only radical, Alan returns with the old gold, the old truths, and some new truths (based on the old truths).
For over 35 years, Munnery has performed around the world, experimenting with and innovating the stand-up form. In the 1990s, his Alan Parker: Urban Warrior character took the comedy circuit by storm, garnering Munnery his own BBC Radio 1 series, which Time Out London called ‘the funniest thing on Radio One’ and a residency on ITV’s Saturday Live. 1996 saw him collaborate with Graham Linehan and Stewart Lee for BBC2 show, London Shouting, in his Alan Parker guise, and the character also become a regular contributor to NME magazine.
‘Gloriously inept radical anorak.’ Times
‘Marx, Engels and Sid Vicious would all have died laughing.’ Guardian
‘Munnery’s parody of a punk rock anarcho snowflake, hand drawn with real love for its subject, returns to a world worse than any he could have imagined in his home decade of the 1980s.’ Stewart Lee

Songs from The Porch
Berta, Kim, Misha and Ruth bring together fiddle, double bass, accordion and lush singering and cook up a brand spankin' new Stroud-based, porch-located stripped-back alt-country soup base, which they ladle deliciously over the unpromising noodles of modern pop and underground classics; everything from Alicia Keys to Frank Ocean.
