Description

Andy D tells the story of Little Boney’s second coming. Not recorded by history, he’s accompanied by his Mancunian friend and a dog called Fido. Napoleon once famously stated ‘I am the revolution’. And he was. Once. However, in 1814 he gets banished to the little island of Elba by European powers. There, not surprisingly, he gets howling at the moon bored. So he escapes, with a force of just over 1000 men! Along the Route Napoleon he is advised by his Mancunian friend. And protected by Fido. All three of whom will end up at Waterloo.

A great, funny, unique show . Very entertaining and quirky. Also a really fab venue - like you can only find in Edinburgh's vaults - a proper mini theatre space with tiered seating! What a gem.

Tres tres bien (in Stockport accent). Andy took us on a dark humorous journey from when Napoleon left St Alba until he was banished again to St Helena. Absolutely brilliant, go and see the show!

A very entertaining take on Stockport’s contribution to Boney’s comeback tour. Funny, witty and skilfully delivered. Well worth the punt.

Andy D hilariously plays the part of several characters, including Napoleon himself telling the story of Napoleon’s battles and imprisonment. A very original show which I am sure will go on a lot longer than the fringe itself.
