ONE MAN
SHOW:
After playing to packed houses at the Etc Theatre Camden, the Hen & Chickens Islington, and the Tunbridge Wells Comedy Festival across 2005-2006, I've written a new one man show.
'Something To Crow About' is being performed at the Camden Comedy Fringe in July 2007,
and the Edinburgh Free Fringe in August 2007.

PETE GOLD: SOMETHING TO CROW
ABOUT.
"London's best comedy
songwriter" (Fringe Report), explodes
onto the stage with a brand new one man show. A bubbling concoction of
stand-up, songs, and characters, Something To Crow About is guaranteed to leave the audience with a comedy hangover
they wont forget.
Endearingly awkward, Pete covers topics such as how
Darth Vader helped me give up KitKats, and including songs such as "The MySpace Song", the Jake
Thackray-inspired "Lady Golfer", and the self-explanatory "P*ss Off, we donšt want the Olympics". Therešs also an audience
participation song which promises to trick even the most puritanical punter
into swearing at the top of their lungs.
Plus,
therešs a ballad about a duck that falls in love with a swan, called ŗThe Love
that Dare Not Quack Its Name˛. Itšs got all the ingredients of a good Country
and Western song: a pair of doomed lovers, lashings of tragedy, and a dash of
hoi-sin sauce.
Here's what other people have said about Pete's past
performances:

brilliant!" - Ed Byrne (in the middle of Pete's act).

successful" - The Guardian.

"Bags of imagination"

"Subtle, powerful, and
very funny" - Fringe Report.
"A bit like Mitch
Benn, but not quite as good" -
Pete's Dad.
"I regret ever
having born you" - Pete's Mum.
