Nigel Osner - Still Ticking

Thu 19th Oct

19.30

Held in the Drawing Room

Nigel Osner returns in his latest one man show, taking a quirky look at 25 years of writing and performing. He illustrates his story with original songs and monologues by characters including a jaded rock star, a man who hates being labelled, a woman who has given up men, a fangless vampire, an owl --- even Death!

Nigel was previously here in 2021 with ‘Too young to stay in, too old to go out!’ and 2022 as a vampire for our Halloween evening! ‘Still ticking!’ has a bit of that Halloween vibe!

‘… a performer who quickly connects with an audience --- Still Ticking! soon finds its way into your heart.’ London North Westend

‘a paean to growing old disgracefully’  Reviews Hub

‘... tells a good yarn and gives excellent characterisations … there’s a rock star sensuality to much of Osner’s accomplished cabaret turns’ London Pub Theatres Magazine

Tickets £12,  Members £10

Finding employment as a lowly department store clerk, he struggles to keep his job, whilst boasting of a big promotion in letters home to his sweetheart, Mildred. Then he comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store!
