Every sketch group needs its resident idiot and Pappy’s has Tom Parry. Although Ben Clark does run him close at times. It is Parry who tends to come up with madcap schemes. It is Parry who tends to wear costumes made out of old children’s toys. It is Parry who tends to strip off at the drop of a hat. In the Pappy’s shows he has other perfomers to consider, but this year he is doing his first Fringe solo show and has a whole hour to himself to be gloriously silly in. According to his press info the show sets out to “prove that fancy dress makes you live longer” so I imagine there will be some dressing up involved. And also stripping off if any hats are dropped. 

Tom Parry is at the Invisible Dot tonight in a double header preview with Matthew Crosby, tickets here, and at Just The Tonic from Aug 6 - 30, tickets here.
