Paul Harry Allen's Retro Delights
|
It's stuff like this that the Edinburgh Fringe was invented for. 5 stars. - Half an Orange
Having rummaged his way round the UK, Paul will take you on a tour of some of the junk and charity shop oddities he’s found. From china dogs in hats to photos of people he doesn’t know, this is a delightful delve into the ridiculous, a passionate tale about his love of preserving the past. With a mixture of storytelling and stand up, Paul celebrates his love of collecting and takes a laugh at the past. Whether its tales of his frugal Nan or unfortunate phrases in films, audiences will surely love this merry mix of retro tomfoolery.

What people said about it
Brian West - Half an Orange
We all love wandering around musty old charity shops looking for bargains, but for Paul Harry Allen this innocent pastime has become both an obsession and something of a full time occupation.
Paul painstaking catalogues and photographs each and every one of his strange collection, and rarely fails to produce a roar of laughter when he shares pictures of his particular favourites with the audience. It’s such a simple idea for a one man show, but it’s invariably the simple ideas that are the best. I wish I’d thought of it.
