AUGUST 2005


Nathan Penlington's new solo stand-up poetry show If my life hadn't turned out differently is appearing as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2005 at the Pleasance Jokerdome from 3rd - 29th August 2005:


If my life hadn't turned out differently

We have all wondered how our lives would be if we'd made different choices. Moved to a different town. Worked in a different job. Made different friends. Fallen in love with someone else.



But very few of us ask ourselves, 'What if my life hadn't turned out differently?'



Nathan Penlington, one of Britain’s new generation of stand-up poets explores life’s forgotten Kodak™ moments - our very own personal histories that make us who we are - seamlessly fusing comedy, poetry and storytelling with writing that is intelligent, accessible and entertaining.



If my life hadn't turned out differently is a unique and original spokenword show.


‘A natural performer, witty, inventive, stylish and original’ - Rob Newman


‘A young turn of promise’ – John Hegley
