In case you didn't catch it last year, Publick Transport are doing a warm-up gig of 'The Department of Smelling Pistakes' before going on a 3-week tour, with another favourite of ours, Stewart Wright, replacing Toby Davies in the role of Ivan.
Tickets are £7 (£5 conc), available in advance from www.bristolticketshop.co.u
23 March · 20:00 - 21:00 | |
The Cube Multiplex Dove Street South Bristol | |
Set in a Tatiesque-cum-Orwellian world of tannoy broadcasts, random directives, microdots and listening devices, 'The Department of Smelling Pistakes' is a delightfully daft piece of slapstick comedy about a Soviet civil servant's attempt to hold onto his job even though he can't remember what it is, while an Inspector threatens to wrestle if from him by putting him through a series of bizarre tests. An hilarious satire on mind-numbing bureaucracy and Party paranoia, with spadefuls of surreal comedy and wordfoolery.
"A thing of sublime comic beauty."
Venue Magazine
"Absurd genius. . .a delightful mix of the bizarre and the brilliant."
Guide2Bristol
"Sheer lunacy. . . It should be compulsory viewing for anyone aspiring to work in local government."
