Ian McMillan and Tony Husband at Upton
Barnsley Football Club has a poet in residence, he is local legend and
performer Ian McMillan. Not afraid of a bit of contrast he’s also resident poet
at English National Opera. However, his contributions are strictly confined to
commentary, on the art of both football and opera, never knowingly mixing the
two! His distinctive vocal style and delivery endures Ian’s continued presence
on such shows as Just a Minute and his
own show The Verb on Radio 3. He has been
described as combining the verbal gymnastics of a northern Spike Milligan with the comic timing
of Eric Morecambe.
A Cartoon History of Here is not a one man show. Ian is joined at Upton
by award winning cartoonist Tony Husband whose cartoons have appeared in newspapers, magazines,
books and websites including The Times, Playboy, The Sunday Express
and The Sun. He has won more than 15 major awards, including the Pont Award, for
depicting the British way of life. His
draws a regular comic strip, Yobs, for Private
Eye that began in the 1980s. Tony remains one of Britain’s best known
satirical quick-draw cartoon artist.
A Cartoon History of Here will be a night like no other. Created by the attending audience, Ian and Tony cook up poems and cartoons 'to go' relying on audience participation to steer the performance.
The show is raising funds for Theatre Imp’s production of Irena’s Vow in
February 2014.
