A Message From Hugh Hughes

Hello! I hope you enjoyed Saint David’s Day yesterday. Or the day of Dewi Sant, as we call him in Wales.






A big part of my shows is about meeting people and making connections with them. If you’ve seen one of my shows, maybe Hugh Hughes in...Floating or Hugh Hughes in...360, you’ll know that I like to get the audience involved a little bit. I like us all to have a nice time together. We are sharing a space together, after all, and we might as well enjoy our time together, in that space, together.

The purpose of this blog post here is for me to invite you to come and share some time and space with me again. Or maybe even for the first time. You never know, it might just put a spring in your step.

If you’ve seen one of my shows before, you might like to know that I’m performing all three of them in March and May this year. So you could come and see one that you haven’t seen yet, perhaps, or remind yourself of one that you have seen. If you enjoyed it and you know someone else who might like it too, why not bring them along and introduce us all to each other?

All of my shows are being performed under the title The Wonderful World of Hugh Hughes, which you can find out about on my new website here: www.hughhughes.me/wonderful-world-of-hugh-hughes.

Let me tell you the important bit here though:


15 –19 March at the Drum Theatre in Plymouth (tickets on 01752 267 222 or here)
22 – 26 March at The Junction in Cambridge (tickets on 01223 511 511 here)
17 – 21 May at West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds (tickets on 0113 213 7700 or here)

Sometimes people contact me through my website saying ‘Hugh, I really wish I’d brought my sister/brother/friend/mum/dad along to see your show, I think he/she would have really loved it, but we’ve missed our chance now’.

Well, you still have the chance to make sure your sister/brother/friend/mum/dad does see the show!

I’d love to see you in Plymouth, Cambridge or Leeds – so why not come and see me, and bring a friend along!

Best wishes,
Hugh x

A Happy (Gorey) Hallowe'en

Posted by David Ralfe (Marketing & Admin. Assistant, Hoipolloi)

"He got more than the odd sideways glance and couple of strangled screams as he made his way into the busy market..."



Edward Gorey's mischievous creature has been on the loose in Leeds, as The Doubtful Guest continues to play to enthusiastic audiences at West Yorkshire Playhouse this week!

The Guest provoked a playful brand of havoc at Neil's Fruit Shop in Leeds' Kirkgate Market yesterday, helping itself to a pile of Hallowe'en pumpkins. The local press reported that "the creature speaks very little English but did explain that a lantern was all he needed to complete his crazy trick or treating costume".

They were also kind enough to point out that "Hoipolloi Theatre's The Doubtful Guest is the Hallowe'en treat for families at the Playhouse until 1 November".

The show will be staged at West Yorkshire Playhouse tonight (Friday) at 7pm and tomorrow at 1pm and 7pm, so if you're in the area, you still have a few chances to catch it! Then we'll be heading into the final week of the tour, at the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff from 6 to 8 November.

In the meantime, have a very happy Hallowe'en and, wherever you are tonight, watch out for a Doubtful Guest lurking in the shadows...


A big Thank You to photographer James Hardisty for these great shots!
