Still Ticking

One minute you pop into hospital for a routine procedure and the next minute somebody slips and accidentally pierces your heart. Next, they try to fix your heart and accidentally pierce your lung. What a week!

When the angel of death is just around the corner waiting by the water cooler in a stylish pair of Raybans, there’s only one thing for it: Get up, get away and tell that story! Well, as soon as you’ve learned how to walk again…

With the aid of a colourful cast of characters, including an ageing vampire with false fangs, Nigel Osner “the snake-hipped love child of Noel Coward and Eileen Atkins” (North West End) tells this autobiographical tale of what it feels like to shake hands with death before sending it packing. He’s got botox, a microphone and a new lease of life, so watch out!

With 25 years of writing and performing under his bejewelled belt – you’re in safe hands. Still Ticking is packed with laughs, pathos and original
songs. Nigel is the one who got away and he lives to spin a bloody good yarn.

“Quixotic, surprising, and packed with personality, it is a paean to growing old disgracefully by a better maintained version of Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones.” (Review Hub)
