John Hegley: The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet

“Typically brilliant songs and stories about a Gallic small-town hero with a dog called Chirac” The Guardian

Tales about a Frenchman with some unusual [but clean] habits, which include burying his dog’s kennel and his own luggage pieces. The stories appear alongside other new works, which include an address to aliens on the subject of transport a poem about a non-talking parrot and some animal impersonations with the aid of a handkerchief. The audience are invited to sing along. But not to dance. Much.

Hegley is known as a poet and singer with a common and comedic touch, hence the quotation from The Observer, ‘Awesomely mundane’

The poet Adrian Mitchell said of him: ‘Just because he is one of the funniest men alive, do not
underestimate his dedicated gentleness.’

And The Luton News said that his lyrics, ‘…quite often make little sense’
