After Josh Howie saved our Monday we continued the curly haired middle-aged theme with Andy Zaltzman. Andy told us about the life changing impact that delivering your own child has on a person, I don’t doubt it. The show was full of satire and cricket references (as is Zaltzman’s style), a sure hit with any fans of his Bugle podcast.
Day two, show two: we took a chance on Toby Hadoke – Now I Know my BBC. The long lost descendant of fishermen Toby loves the BBC, he even knows the correct positioning of the apostrophe in Howards’ Way. It’s an endearing show, full of Toby’s passion for the importance of the institution (rightly so, as it’s one of the cornerstones of our British culture). A brilliant little show/lecture that lifts the heart.
The final event of the day and the first musical number of the festival was Barbershopera. Apocalypse? No! Half barber shop quartet, half opera, half comedy – the show is cleverly constructed by just four actors playing and singing all the parts. Genuinely hilarious despite being of the musical genre.
Tonight’s whisky choice was a Dalwhinnie 15 year: much more depth than yesterday’s choice, with light fruit flavours, particularly watermelon.
