EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Bob Blackman's Tray? Image

Tell us a bit about Bob Blackman's Tray?
The funniest men in Staffordshire encounter local characters old and new. Or do they?
Johnny Sorrow is widely regarded as a comedy legend throughout Staffordshire. First achieving success in the 1970's, Sorrow's career arguably peaked when he was employed as a warm-up man for the television shows An Audience With Jasper Carrott and Bullseye (starring Jim Bowen). The emergence of 'alternative' comedy in the 1980's was initially a struggle for Sorrow, but after joining forces with Mr Balaclava in Bob Blackman's Tray?, Sorrow has produced one of the great showbiz comebacks.
Mr Balaclava is a Staffordshire based comedy writer/performer. He wears a balaclava.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
Edinburgh has a long history of liking Staffordshire based comedy legends.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
It is unlikely that any other shows in Edinburgh feature such a high ratio of people considered legends in Staffordshire.

What are the benefits of performing at the Free Fringe?
It gives us a chance to perform outside of Staffordshire, where we enjoy legendary status.
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
People who enjoy legendary Staffordshire based comedy.
Timings and ticket information for Bob Blackman's Tray? are available on the edfringe website.
