Hegley is to potatoes what Wordsworth has been to daffodils’ The Observer
‘Poignancy and idiocy’ Galway Advertiser
‘Just because he is one of the funniest men alive, don’t underestimate his dedicated gentleness’ Adrian Mitchell New Statesman

John tells the truth about his brother-in-law (the kind of bloke who likes to stop and ask hitch-hikers where they’re going and then tells them he’ll get there first). He visits the scene of a painting by his father 70 years ago in Nice. He muses upon fathering, building sites, own goals, toffee and blancmange.

John is a regular sell-out at The Edinburgh Festival. He has performed in Melbourne, Montreal, Wellington, Colombia, Zanzibar & Arbroath. He has appeared on Wogan, Anderson, Sherrin, Ross, Richard & Judy and Blue Peter. He is responsible for 9 books of poetry / prose / lyrics / drawings and one mug. He is busy polishing his 2nd CD.
