Joseph Morpurgo – Truthmouth

One of our favourites from last year's Edinburgh Fringe, character comic Joseph Morpurgo's debut solo show is packed with inventive ideas and superbly funny skits. 'Truthmouth' is an arts charity that specialises in developing verbatim theatre, where scripts are written word-for-word from genuine conversations. That’s total nonsense, of course. Truthmouth is totally made up. But it’s an effective, straightforward hook to tie together Morpurgo's ridiculous characters, including an over-enthusiastic TV chef, a veteran Uno player, a friendly private assassination service employee and a possessed Irish farmer. Go see!
