Steve Ignorant and CP Lee: ‘Aren’t We All Just Puppets Really?’
Sunday 13 November 2016, 15:45.
Louder Than Words festival
The Palace Hotel, Oxford Street, Manchester, M60 7HA
Tickets available online
In this very special event, two great friends of Louder Than Words Fest STEVE IGNORANT and CP LEE get together in conversation, considering the theme ‘Aren’t we all just puppets really?’. Drawing on their diverse and personal experiences of life and performance as well as their shared wider interest in music hall, Steve and CP will take us on a journey across some surprising artistic endeavours, including some that involve violence and sausages and others that involve the police and crocodiles. Make sure you join us – you’ll be pleased as Punch!
Penny Rimbaud is also appearing at the 2016 Louder Than Words event on the same day.
