Postcards
on the Edge is an evening of riotously funny original
songs, monologues and sketches loosely based around
the British saucy seaside postcards of the 1940's,
50's & 60’s.
Flanders and Swann meet the McGill Seaside Postcard!!
Ian Craddock – Manager - Old Joint Stock Theatre,
Birmingham It is written
and performed by the duo 'Stoolpigeon' who recently
won BBC Radio’s Folk Quest 2007 performing
songs from this show.
A fantastic duo, these will have such a wide
appeal – Johnnie Coppin Folk Roots
BBC Radio
The show reflects the postcards of the era and
is a hilarious & entertaining selection featuring
an array of attractive women, fat old ladies,
vicars, nuns and drunken middle aged men in compromising
situations.
A hilarious musical breath of fresh air –
Common Folk Club Pelsall.
‘Postcards
on the Edge’ is not a nostalgic look
back through rose tinted glasses to an earlier
time. It is a modern, wholly original show addressing
modern themes with songs written in the style
of the period and before the birth of political
correctness. The show is witty, poignant and sad.
Yet it is also hilarious, laden with double entendre
and full of audience participation. This is the
modern era of ‘musical comedy’
With influences from the golden age of British
musical comedy, Flanders & Swann and Max Miller
Stoolpigeon have put a modern cutting edge to
the genre bringing traditional musical comedy
into the 21st century with devastatingly comic
effect.
