Potted Pirates
The new show from Potted Potter's Dan and Jeff, premiering at Edinburgh fringe 2008, then touring internationally in 2008/9
Written and performed by Dan and Jeff - Directed and co-written by Richard Hurst
After the hilarious success of Potted Potter, delightful double act Dan and Jeff return with this new compressed caper. In search of talking parrots and mysterious buried treasure, they're swapping wizards for walking the plank and trading Hogwarts for the high seas.
On the way they'll be collecting pieces of eight by recounting everyone's favourite pirate legends, from Long John Silver to Jack Sparrow. Best known for their storytelling appearances on the good pirate ship Blue Peter, Dan and Jeff may argue about who gets to play Jonny Depp, and which of them is lumbered with the supporting role of wooden leg.
This show will be enjoyed by all ages, even those who don't know their shipping forecast from their sea shanty.
