'Let me tell you how close to comedy genius this guy gets... Breathtakingly accomplished... BEYOND BRILLIANT'

***** The Scotsman

If.Comedy Award Winner Phil Nichol returns to Soho as Bobby Spade, a performance poet and troubadour thief. Offering ridiculously straight-faced one-liners, outrageously sublime comic poems and fantastically engaging comedy songs, Phil's latest comic invention could be his most inspired yet.

'He gallops through an impressive range of musical styles... At moments I laughed so hard that I managed to  snort my drink out of my nose'

Observer

Bobby Spade lives in a netherworld of sadness, doubt and lust. He’s lonely. He’s horny. He eats a lot of cheese. Married three times and divorced once; everyone and anyone Bobby Spade has ever loved have left him. He’s an egocentric misogynist and a suicidal narcissist. Oddly, he can’t keep a girlfriend. Remember him, the haunting deadpan poet - the man that was... Bobby Spade!

'The laughs come thick and fast throughout, aided and abetted by a string of one-liners'
