It's a great big THaNK yOu to everyone who made the shows of Pronoun Trouble and BookTalkBookTalkBook at #ExeterComedyFestival an absolute joy!
Great volunteers and amazing audiences!
Also thanks @TheHenChickens for another SOLD OUT @btbtbshow this weekend too.

[BookTalkBookTalkBook @btbtbshow]

@ExeterCityofLit Thank you for the recommendation!
Just to confirm that #BookTalkBookTalkBook is entirely a REAL literary event where ACTUAL books by GENUINE AUTHORS will be discussed in GRANULAR DETAIL and there will be MORE COMMENTS THAN QUESTIONS and a SIGNING.

Not really.
It's a comedy.

[Exeter City of Literature @ExeterCityofLit]

The Exeter Comedy Festival kicks off next week - and they've got literary events we wanted to shout about! 📢

Greek retellings, parody live author events and revolting poetry - check out the full literary related schedule on our website: https://t.co/6ERtyFGapp

“Each day I see all our sails are clean and full. So do they call me Captain Goodsail?
Nay.
I keep scurvy from my crew, but do they call me Captain Limeserve?
No.
I examine every rope afore each voyage, but do they call me Captain Ropecheck?
No.
They don’t.
I wash one pug..."

Today and tomorrow @SceneandHeardUK has a pop-up museum celebrating its 25 years of inspirational theatre, brilliant young people, and excellent teamwork.
It's one of the joys of my life to be involved as dramaturg, actor, director, classroom volunteer.

Jenny and Burton have made it to Paris for our event this evening at @Shakespeare_Co.
(Our moderator Tim wasn't on the same Eurostar but we know he's going to be there too.)
Expect readings from our woefully under-appreciated oeuvre, some chat and a book signing!
#books

[BookTalkBookTalkBook @btbtbshow]

@Shakespeare_Co Jenny and Burton are really looking forward to visiting @Shakespeare_Co, being interviewed by Tim about their deeply fascinating writing lives, and reading from underrated classics such as Wretched Lawns and Why Reigate.
Book Signing to follow!

[Ben Moor @benmoor]

As well as bringing our BookTalkBookTalkBook show to @Shakespeare_Co in Paris on 2024.04.18, @MsJoNeary and I will be sharing our offbeat comediness at Laughing Matters at Chez Georges on 2024.04.17.
Vive Les Oddballs!

Thank you @TheHenChickens and everyone who came to @btbtbshow and our WIPs yesterday - it was superfun!
Sorry Tim didn't make it, but he'll hopefully be at @Shakespeare_Co to moderate when we bring the literary event of the day to Paris on 18th April.

[Ben Moor @benmoor]

At 15.00 on Sunday 7th April 2024, @TheHenChickens is hosting a VERY SERIOUS literary event where two IMPORTANT authors will discuss their PRESTIGIOUS careers.
Or will it be a silly one-act performance piece from @MsJoNeary and me?
Um, that, probably.

[Ben Moor @benmoor]

Friday 15th March 2024 I'm at The Lamb Inn in Eastbourne with some old bits and a section of my new work, alongside the awesome @MsJoNeary @hbbrighton and Raymond and Mr Tompkins Revue.
Splendid is what it will be.

[Ben Moor @benmoor]

Zut alors!
The amazing @Shakespeare_Co has programmed a literary evening in April that will be clever, serious and not at all a daft parody of book events.
@btbtbshow is going to Paris, and @MsJoNeary and I will be there to witness this IMPORTANT BOOK TALK
