Following a sold-out show by Murray Lachlan Young in the autumn, the ever-eclectic Wild Hare Club is presenting a lo-fi, stand-up, spoken word, comic double-bill featuring two up and coming performers on the comedy/poetry scene - Clare Ferguson-Walker and Jonny Fluffypunk. Each has produced a witty show based on their individual lives but will resonate with anyone who has ever dreamed of making it over the pond (Clare) or has lost themselves in the grooves of a favourite LP or 45 (Jonny). There will be an interval between the two performances allowing the audience to recharge their glass in Hereford’s most cosy venue.

Clare Ferguson-Walker’s 'California Scheming' is one woman's poetic narrative about a lifelong fascination with America, a (not so) secret dream to hit the big time and what happened when she finally got to Hollywood. Not quite the young starlet anymore, but a late 30something Mum with two kids, Clare Ferguson-Walker tells tales of meeting and running away from sex-obsessed performance artists, of puking in Beverly Hills and eventually finding the American dream to be a cheap, plastic, gold-painted Oscar. This ultimately uplifting tale sees cultures clash, priorities lost and found, and near nervous breakdowns in a rental car. Clare Ferguson’s performances have garnered praise from such eminent performers as Phil Jupitus and Dr John Cooper-Clarke who she regularly tours with as a special guest.

Jonny Fluffypunk grew up in suburban nowhere. In 1984 he was 15. ‘How I Came to be Where I Never Was’ is a story about trying to find yourself when you find yourself somewhere you don't belong. It's about unrequited love, John Peel and the importance of a good record shop. And it's also about trains, memory and letting go. This is a lo-fi, stand-up, spoken word theatre show for anyone who has ever loved and owned a vinyl record or is simply alive.

“It’s good to mix it up a bit,” says Richard Page, MC of the Wild Hare Club, “I love music of all types but every now and again a good belly laugh is an absolute tonic. Clare and Jonny are the tonic, or maybe they’re the gin or most likely like a couple of double gin and tonics…”
