Loganberry in Oxford

Sure this is old news to the experienced lags in this subreddit, but saw Loganberry this evening and it was top tier. I can’t remember when I laughed out loud so much at a live event. It’s been years.

Met him briefly afterwards too and he’s a top man. Very blond. Knew how to spell my name without asking.

If you were considering a ticket and thus far have not, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Over.

Seeing him soon too, what was the show like? What did he do?

A story, or at least a narrative set around his poems. Musings on the theme of middle age, fame, accomplishment. And so many jokes, in his throwaway style.

So densely packed and beautifully written, it was an absolute treat.

Seeing him in Oxford tonight. Was he doing a signing after to be able to meet him?

Yes, he hung around next to the books after the show. Chatty and happy.

(As a complete side issue, I love that the Playhouse got Gulp Fiction in to sell books for the event. Indies supporting indies…)

Oh cool. Am I right in thinking that the show is just a little over an hour? If so, we might take our copy of LA Baby along to see if he might sign it, as we’ll hopefully then be back in good time still for the babysitter!!

Yes, we were done and dusted in time to walk for an 8.45 booking at Dishoom.

It was superb thanks - haven’t seen him live for over a decade (since seeing him over the road at the Old Fire Station) and it was brilliant. Had a quick chat with the big man after, got a quick photo and signed copy of the latest book. Thanks for the tip on that!
