Post Show Talk- Thu 07 Feb
Hippo World Guest Book
5 - 9 February at Drum Theatre

Hippo World Guest Book

PRESENTED BY JAMES SEABRIGHT

ADAPTED AND PERFORMED BY CHRIS GOODE

Hippo World is a real website where a global community of enthusiasts gather to look at hippo pictures and share hippo facts. Visitors are invited to sign the guest book and leave comments. But no one’s moderating the guest book…

In this solo show, double Fringe First winner Chris Goode reads a selection of entries from the guest book to reveal an epic international story that has unfolded
over several years through thousands of messages.

Returning to the Drum following the success of his play Speed Death Of The Radiant Child last spring, Chris teases a fascinating and funny show from the most unlikely of source material.

GOODE'S PERFORMANCE IS A MASTERCLASS IN SELF-EFFACEMENT, NOT TO MENTION DEADPAN COMIC TIMING.  SURPRISINGLY MOVING.
THE GUARDIAN

DEEPLY, SERIOUSLY FUNNY.  THE GUY MIGHT JUST BE A GENIUS.
EDINBURGH GUIDE

RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE AGED 16+
