Inspired by the audience response to his deconstruction of song lyrics in his Best Medicine Tour combined with his fascination with the vagaries of the English Language, Spikey has taken it upon himself to embark on a new show that examines many more situations in life where words don't come easy. These include tongue-tied parents explaining the facts of life, ridiculous newspaper stories, magazine poems, pathetic adolescent chat-up lines, weird hospital speak, learning a foreign language and an extended selection of song lyrics that range from the lazy through to the surreal to the ridiculous. Throw in a Champion The Wonder Horse sing-a-long, ancient Abyssinian contraception, rubbish school trips, epidural anaesthesia and The Last Supper and you have all the ingredients for a rich and spicy comedy casserole that might leave a strange aftertaste. The award-winning white-haired wonder and Phoenix Nights star that is Dave Spikey has been touring the circuit for the last two decades keeping his finger on the pulse throughout, constantly updating his act.
