| Yeah,
yeah, yeah, you probably love Doctor Who now but where the hell were
you 16 years ago? Did you miss it when it was gone?
In
1996 burglars robbed Toby's flat they took a broken guitar, a Bananrama
single (on vinyl!) and half a jar of coffee (Kwik Save's own brand), yet
left his Doctor Who video collection intact. Now everyone wants a piece of
it.
So
get out from behind that sofa and get aboard award winning comedian Toby
Hadokes’s TARDIS on a trip through time, charting the rise, fall and
subsequent rise of a television legend. A swift, personal, satirical and
razor sharp comic odyssey from child to man, through obsession, joy and
disappointment.
This
show certainly isn’t just for the Geek at the back of the classroom –
although they’re welcome to try and pit their Who might against Toby –
he’s a walking encyclopaedia of the programme and won’t be beaten. But
anyone who’s ever had a passion for anything at anytime in their life
only to rediscover it.
Possibly
one of the most heart-warming shows of last year’s Fringe and a cert to
do likewise at the Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
WHAT THEY SAY:
“Hadoke's a
charming, self-aware guide with a witty touch which makes for one of the
most entertaining hours this side of Gallifrey.” ****Chortle
“A stage
manner more engaging than Henry VIII, and a wit sharper than an
executioner’s axe. Good audience rapport and a slayer of hecklers”
