The Unfinished Spelling Errors of Bolkien

The Unfinished Spelling Errors of Bolkien is a lovingly irreverent re-telling of The Lord of the Rings, interspersed with songs. The story sections tend to switch among pointing out the logical inconsistencies and plot holes of the story, highlighting the differences between the book and the movie, and sometimes just careering off the rails, depending on what is funniest at the time.

The show is performed by Martin Pearson: comedian, folk singer extraordinaire and all-around nerd.

Martin is a very funny satirical performer who has been amusing, even thrilling audiences around the globe for ages now, and if you haven't seen him live - you're missing out. He is a favourite at folk festivals all around Australia and on Friday 22nd June you can come to Humph Hall and find out why!

Martin tickles the funny bone. He has an ability to take current events and observations of everyday life, and turn them into side splitting comedy routines. He is also a fine singer & songwriter.

Comments by critics include:

You will love Martin for his quick wit in his political and social satire, some of which is a vehicle for his easy folk singing, self-accompanied on guitar.

Pearson is a seasoned trouper of the folk festival circuit and he reveres few sacred cows, neither Prime Minister nor Pope all are grist to Pearson's musical mill and get the treatment from his creative pen.

He is a good yarn-spinner, and time passes quickly, as it does when you're having fun.

Variety and wit and effortlessly polished vocal performances. Martin has the outstanding ability to engage the audience, swapping banter and taking them on a wonderfully varied trip. One moment there are members of the audience rolling in their chairs and the next, you could hear a pin drop while they're spellbound by a simply sublime performance.
