experience – no audience, no pay for the acts, great fun! We have an enviable record in predicting the

Nick Revell - BrokenDreamCatcher
Nick Revell will be
recording BrokenDreamCatcher, a series of surreal and satirical stories,
for BBC Radio 4 in May 2018 at Downstairs At The King’s Head. And in July he
will be previewing his new Edinburgh show, also called BrokenDreamCatcher, but
with different stories.
"This is a sort of Jackanory
for grown-ups and it is great fun. Nick Revell’s stories are a fantastic device
to do some satire, some politics, some observational humour and a load of
silliness…Nick pretty much has the ‘surreal fiction for adults’ genre to
himself and he is its master. I left thinking I wish they would put it on
telly.” Kate Copstick, Scotsman
The stories, all
autobiographical and 100% true (as defined by The 2018 International MSM and
Social Media Definitions of Veracity Convention) will include Vladimir
Putin’s Bottom Is Missing, Clash of The Hipster Shamans and Central
Asia’s Most Brutal Dictators and Their Lovely Homes
"…as if JG Ballard has
written an Edinburgh show from beyond the grave… profound and impressive
and expertly delivered...” Chortle
"Nick Revell has done for
magic realism what Austin Powers did for James Bond.” Times
'Stephen Carlin: The Opinionater.'
Here are all my
opinions. You must hear them now before you die. Sit back, listen and try not
to do yourself an injury.

comedy original" Herald *****
