The brochure blurb for this show labels Christopher Bliss as Shropshire's worst writer. That must have been a mistake, as the writing Rob Carter's character showcases in his latest hour is very entertaining indeed.


Shropshire's worst writer pulls on his socks and sandals, irons his shell suit windbreaker, combs his curtains, and leaves Shropshire for the fifth time in his life to bring his fifth show to the Edinburgh Fringe. As seen on 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown teaching Susie Dent about the English language. 'This is how character comedy should be done' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Deliciously Fun' (Guardian). 'One of the best character shows we've seen for a long time' (Comedy.co.uk). Warning: This show contains scenes that some viewers may find extremely nice.
