One potato, two potato, three potato, four… five potato, six potato, seven potato… more!

The story of a teenager’s battle against both bullies and the bulge, Chips on Shoulders is a bittersweet tale courtesy of Penguin Pie Productions, a new and exciting theatre company from the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The Choob - Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011

When developing the idea for my piece I originally thought it would just be odd little monologues about tube travel and the judgements you make about other people on the tube just by looking at them. It has since followed a development pattern which has meant the piece is going from the traditional one-man-show faire, to something a bit more surreal – literally taking the audience on a tube journey where some strange things happen, and where they will meet some really bizarre characters…including a mafia boss American tourist, a celebrity stalker and a man with a very odd phobia…I will say no more as I do not want to spoil anything major. The show has been fermenting in my mind, it has become stronger and more tasty…it has become darker and more strange. The characters have aged and are floating about in my mind like ghosts, ready to be born into existence. http://thechoob.wordpress.com
