Award-winning comedian off telly and radio dabbles in the occult.
What happens when you invoke Mercury, trickster god of the spoken word?:
A show that’s ‘absolutely hilarious’ (Neil Gaiman).
Highly anticipated return of a Fringe favourite. Off Buzzcocks, Saxondale and his own BBC Radio 4 show Pharmacist Baffler. ***** (ScotsGay.co.uk).
**** (Chortle.co.uk).
‘Those of you expecting actual magick will be disappointed. What you will get is high-energy song, one-liners, tales of O’Neill’s discovery and use of black magick (spoiler alert, heavy on the power of incantation and no blood sacrifice mentioned), some great flights of fancy about new proverbs, the first ever knock-knock joke, and a recursive Oscar Wilde gag, as well as a repeated cry of “we must cage them!” (first made by Boudicca in the Iceni). Go figure. As always, O’Neill is much more intellectual than he seems. While tales of Hermes helping to write his show and contacting the Moon Goddess on Parliament Hill might sound strange, you are left pondering the power of the incantation and rethinking the way jokes work. This is a strange broth of a show, with little bits of many things bubbling away in there, but it is highly enjoyable.” The Scotsman

Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult
Finding himself still alive, having failed to die from small pox, pancreatic cancer, or liver failure, The Hayseed Dixie frontman brings a new show for 2018 that draws from the last 18 years on the road.
Featuring songs and stories spanning the career of Hayseed Dixie and John’s solo records the show is by turns humorous, irreverent, sardonic and absurd – just like life on the road.
John’s playing a plugged in electric guitar and is joined by percussionist Pete Robbins, so this ain’t no soul searching shoe gazing evening.
Come drink a few beers with them and rock your face off.
1st ever Cambridge Fringe festival, a day of comedy and entertainment across multiple venues in Mitchams Corner.
As the largest venue in the fleet, The Portland Arms will be hosting our headline act Tanyalee Davis (Live at the Apollo, The Last Leg and The John Bishop Show) as well as hilarious supporting acts Jenny Collier, Rahul Kohli, Matt Price, Russell Hicks to name but a few.
All shows are free entry with donations encouraged. We will be setting up an eventbrite page so you can reserve your free tickets.
