Jonny Fluffypunk and Helen Wood will each present a solo show about finding your way as part of a double-bill at the Cotswold Playhouse next week.

In How I Came To Be Where I Never Was, Jonny Fluffypunk shares a story about trying to find yourself, when you find yourself somewhere you don’t belong.

And Helen Wood will be on hand to help find your way while rambling, using the Ordnance Survey map of Stroud, Tetbury and Malmesbury as part of her show The O.S. Map Fan Club.

Both shows were performed at last year’s Stroud Theatre Festival to packed houses and both performers are taking their shows to different festivals around the UK later this year.

The diverse double-bill takes place at The Cotswold Playhouse on Friday, March 23 at 7.30pm.

How I Came To Be Where I Never Was is about unrequited love, John Peel and the importance of a good record shop, trains and memory and letting go.

It is a lo-fi, stand-up, spoken word, theatre show for anyone who has ever loved, owned a vinyl record or just been alive.

The Independent newspaper described Jonny as an ‘Acute social observation, intricate humour, surreal fantasy, sharp irony and wit.’

Stroud News and Journal:

Helen Wood will be leading the audience through a virtual ramble in the O.S. Map Fan Club show

Meanwhile Helen Wood’s show, The O.S. Map Fan Club, is a humorous exploration of the much loved, fold-out, paper map.

Fast-paced, quirky, feel-good show in which Helen leads the audience on a virtual ramble, weaving in fascinating facts about locations, maps and rambling with amusing autobiographical stories and sketches.

The show is directed and script-edited by Stroud’s own comedy coach, Chris Head.

Everything Theatre described the play as being nostalgia-filled as well as being ‘endearing, sincere, wholesome and zany.’

Helen Wood and Jonny Fluffypunk will be appearing at the Cotswold Playhouse, Parliament Street, Stroud on Friday, March 23 at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £10 from cotswoldplayhouse.co.uk/tickets
