About this Event

The 4 Johns bring you their difficult second show.

The 4 Johns are known for their hilarious and innovative shows which often explore the struggle between grand ambitions and mundane tasks. Their performances typically blend humour, irreverence and poignant moments making them a unique and entertaining act.

This show is the best thing they've done since their critically acclaimed debut "All We've Got Time For"

The performance of "Frank Sidebottom Calling" at Cafe Indie is a free ticketed show with a pay what you feel collection on the night.

The evening includes performances from 2 amazing special guests - The brilliant poet Kat Spence and the amazing writer and storyteller Ian Killen.

Kat Spence tackles both the large and minute issues of everyday life with passion, skill and originality. Kat’s unique and compelling words take you on a journey from hilarious to serious, from trivial to momentous, from playful to profound.

Ian Killen takes you into a world of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, of indie bands and record shops, of petty crime and teenage dreams. His stories are funny, poignant, touching and emotional, with laugh out loud punchlines, wistful musings and beautifully crafted storylines.

There will also be short performances from some of the best local poets.
