OPENING ACT:
Do Not Adjust Your Stage will be supported by Bristol-based H.E.L.E.N. as their opening act!
H.E.L.E.N is an improvised comedy trio made up of the inimitable Helen Herman, Ivor Cutler protege Joe Coles and the enfant terrible of the Irish Dubstep scene, Hubert McIntyre.
Helen has pioneered the H.E.L.E.N. comedy home delivery service, which, as far as is known, is the first of its kind. They specialise in enacting Freudian nightmares. They are in no way affiliated with the Basque Separatist movement of the same name.
