Edward Bourne: Sketchbook at The Room Above

A event held at The Room Above on Saturday 28th January. The event starts at 20:00.


Sketchbook
“Have you ever felt like a hollow sim in a glitchy video game,
Taking time to self narrate your moves in marvellous dismay?”

Deep, right?

Songs become sketches and sketches become songs as Edward Bourne embarks on his first gig as a jazz keyboardist, only to find the hour overrun by an hour-long string of sketchy flashbacks.

Make some room for a fast feast of voiceover fantasies, roughly chopped by a horrifying haircut, some mildly medieval miss-steps in romantic courtship, a tutor on trial, a mastermind appearance that takes the mickey, and a terrifying(ly awkward) T-Rex impersonation.*

Hot off his 2018-20 run in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical (supporting lead thank you very much), Edward Bourne comes to The Room Above with a work-in-progress of his first solo show.

*This is a staggeringly accurate synopsis of the show. That’s it. Seriously.
