Psychovertical - tall tales from the edge

Posted by Tony Ryan on 09/01/2007

After doing 14 sell-out gigs in picture house cinemas this summer Andy Kirkpatrick is taking his audio-visual show on the road around the UK early in 2007.

Part stand-up comedy part poignant talk, Andy’s show is a gripping, hilarious and awe-inspiring experience in which he weaves together stories that include saving Johnny Depp’s life on the set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, stealing cold war secrets from a remote radar station in the middle of the Greenland icecap, and soloing the hardest climb on the planet. Andy describes his show as “a mixture of scary, funny and sometimes thought provoking stories…a bit like Peter Kay meets Touching the Void, basically northern humour mixed with lots of stories about people nearly dying… It's very dark, and very funny!”

Tour dates:
24 Jan - Sheffield
01 Feb - Newcastle
03 Feb - Shrewsbury
04 Feb - Bristol
05 Feb - Cardigan
08 Feb - Bangor
13 Feb - Barrow-in-Furness
17 Feb - Carlisle
20 Mar - Salford
29 Mar - Leeds
