John Hegley fundraising gig for Frome Festival
John Hegley returns to the Merlin Theatre for a Frome Festival fundraiser on 7th February, 2026.
‘New and Selected Potatoes’ is the spud-in-cheek title of Hegley’s “best of” compilation, mixing classic favourites with fresh material. Mandolin accompaniment has been retained, alongside a train whistle from Didcot Railway Centre.
Poet, comic, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer, John has captivated and devastated audiences all over the country, in theatres and festivals, at gigs at the Edinburgh Festival, and with numerous appearances on radio and television. This show demonstrates the breadth of his appeal, with seriously funny, cleverly comic poems on everything from love, family, France, art and the sea to dogs, dads, gods, taxidermy, carrots, spectacles and – of course – potatoes.
