Missionaries for the mildly annoyed, Andy Quirk and his Lead Backup Dancer, Anna J, travel the country railing against the frustrations of modern living. Bad nights out, retail nightmares and hipster excess all get a withering tongue lashing. A regular headliner, Andy and Anna perform across the country and have appeared at numerous fringe festivals plus three full runs at Edinburgh. They have also appeared at music festivals and performed countless club shows.
Despite claiming to lead a large crew, Andy's hype-men are suspiciously absent at every show (bar back-up dancer Anna J) and so it falls to the audience to take their place as backing singers, percussionists and whatever else is required. Active and raucous with a chalk and cheese narrative between rapper and dancer, it's a show you're unlikely to forget.
If you've ever thought you might need some group therapy for the everyday frustrations of modern living be assured there's room in the crew for you!

Reviews
"Part comedy show, part rap gig, part group therapy, Andy Quirk and Anna J present an hour of musical nonsense where self-consciousness is left at the door marked Silly Good Times. Wrigley LOVES this show. Anna J’s surly rapper routine is hilarious." ☆You should be first in the queue for this☆ Fringepig "Interaction with the crowd is excellently handled and used to great effect. A great level of showmanship is instantly apparent and the performance space is used in an awesome way in this highly relatable show. The writing is of a very high standard and it translates perfectly from page to stage with superb timing and an ability to switch music genre with ease." ☆☆☆☆☆ Bunbury Magazine "This show is enticing, funny, surprising, even therapeutic. If you want to chill for a while out of the dense crowds while being thoroughly entertained, I would suggest you come in and take a peek – just be prepared to join in!" ☆☆☆☆ Mumble Comedy "...delivers with infectious enthusiasm...demolishing any walls of self-consciousness...and he’s even got a backing dancer with moody sass to help build the atmosphere." Chortle "A polished performance...hilarious and relatable." Buxton Fringe Review "Everyone needs to go and check you out." Shell Zenner, The Dead Good Show, BBC Radio Manchester "Superb" Rory McGrath "Uplifting, funny and awesome" Simon Caine "Audience Rousing" John Fleming |
