Inspired by the slippery slide into insanity that comes with late-night writing, Night Owl is a show that revels in silliness. With assistance from script editor Grace Beckett, Footlight Andy Bucks seamlessly fuses previous work with new material into a nonstop hour of comedy that left us cawing for more. On a stage cluttered with objects from another production, he played technical difficulties to his advantage, setting a tone in which hiccups were welcome, no one took themselves too seriously, and which slowly morphed into a running joke between the audience and performer.
Night Owl (but not a wise one, just stupid) played at the Corpus Playroom at 9:30pm on the 25th October 2021. A new version, called How Not to Owl will be playing at the Edinbrugh fringe from 22 - 27th of August 2022.
