Postcards on the Edge

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.

Bobs Jazzy Style and range of self penned songs had everyone aching with laughter and reluctant to go home - Kevin Arnold – Brewood Folk founder

It might not be suitable for the very young or the very sensitive but it’s a great evening’s entertainment bringing a modern edge to a classic era.

Absolutely outstanding they brought the house down’- John Ullah (Grand Sheikh Laughing Gravy Tent –Laurel and Hardy Appreciation Society)
