Waiting for Bono
Exclusive! Bono leaves U2?s world tour to play the Hot August Fringe. Let’s hope he turns up, or Miss Hypnotique and John Callaghan will have to entertain you with absurd electronica mash-ups and spooky theremin. Join England’s top performers of ‘Eccentronica’ – a quirky mix of electronic music and offbeat humour. Waiting For Bono mixes up musical comedy, improvisation and cabaret in a bucketful of nonsense (with a cheeky nod to playwright Samuel Beckett).
The show’s music is produced by electronica Warp Records artist John Callaghan and performed with Miss Hypnotique, a leading proponent of the theremin, the world’s first electronic musical instrument which is played without touch, who has featured on “New Paul O’Grady Show” and “James May’s 20th Century”.
Waiting For Bono debuted in 2010 at the Hatch Festival in Nottingham and was performed again at the Levellers’ Beautiful Days Festival in Devon (warming up for British Sea Power). This is a reworking of the show for theatre and fringe fans, which will be performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, August 20-28th.
