PROGRAMME 

Fergus performs two types of show:

A music theatre show that includes elements of storytelling, mime/physical theatre and song to tell a story in a darkly comic, sometimes surreal way.  More below.

A stand-up, cabaret show that follows a loose narrative - often about boys and girls, and is heavily focussed on song.

Robinson Crusoe - The Musical: On Tour Summer 2008

"We all go a little mad sometimes..."

A dramatic retelling of the Daniel Dafoe novel about the shipwrecked guy, Man-Friday, cannibals and a parrot called Polly.  Using elements of physical storytelling and song - often at the same time, Fergus explores what 28 years on a desert island might have looked and sounded like had Crusoe been shipwrecked with an accordion and without a volley ball called Wilson.  Oh, and in this version he spends most of his time around his bamboo bar and ends up in his own show in Vegas. Touring UK, USA and Canada in Summer 2008.

The Descent of Man: A tragicomic operetta in two acts and thirty minutes by a man in a dress playing an accordion. Performed in 2007 at Guilfest, Greenroom (Manchester), Komedia (Brighton), Die Scheinbar (Berlin) and other venues in England and Germany. A continuous piece of musical entertainment, the piece reflected the difference between modern, urban male with - perhaps, a more realistic image of a basic, jealous, pathetic and passionate one.  An autobiographical work, I no longer perform it.  It's too painful and the dress too sweaty.  Nice.

Here's the beginning though:
