British Comedy Guide, 27th August 2016The accidental Fringe career of Paul Vickers
Paul Vickers never planned to make his Edinburgh Festival Fringe act his main thing. As the former frontman of John Peel-championed band Dawn of the Replicants, turned collaborator with Edinburgh underground supergroup Paul Vickers and The Leg, his foray into off-kilter comic cabaret with his debut show, Twonkey's Cottage, in 2010 was meant to be a diversion from producing a Beefheartian stew of punk-folk clatter to accompany an increasingly fantastical series of narrative vignettes.
