Title
Gary Hogg Monologues- Fairly Truthful Tales
Description
Whether it’s because the Northern dialect makes comedy sound funnier or Northern humour travels well is yet to be decided. In keeping with tradition, and drawing inspiration from the entertainment that packed the halls before television, ‘fairly Truthful Tales’ hopes to recreate and refresh the art of the comedy monologue.
It was an art form developed in the Victorian Music Halls where artists like Stanley Holloway made it into a working class culture. Young and old in pre-war days memorised their favourites like ‘The Lion And Albert,’ ‘Sam Small’ or ‘The Runcorn Ferry’ and they became a powerful morale booster on the home front during the war. Despite ‘Albert’ being written by a Scotsman and performed by a Londoner, it was always performed in a Northern accent and fittingly, made its debut in front of a Tyneside audience.
Encouraging older audiences and readers to value their own memories whilst enriching the cultural life of the young, ‘fairly Truthful Tales’ ensures a vivid part of our comedy heritage is not lost.
