'That's Me on the Left, In the Parka'
by Bob Karper

Normal can be extraordinary. Look in detail at an everyday life and you can find art. There is beauty and inspiration right under the couch. American-born Bob Karper has taken stories from the lives of friends, family, and people. He’s mixed them with film and original live music, and created a warm, funny and moving show about self-consciousness and the nature of love. Parka makes audience members think, feel and leave delighted.

Reviews

“Like Tom Waits soundtracking The Waltons, Bob Karper is part performance artist, part one-man cabaret, complete with audience participation… Warmth, generosity, and good old-fashioned honesty ripple through this purging of a past gone mad.”
Glasgow Herald ****

“Karper’s show feels like a late-night chat with a stranger in a bar. He is a wistful yet unsentimental storyteller with a beguiling and idiosyncratic style… An engagingly intimate portrait of relationships that makes love seem a more complicated business than ever.”
The Guardian

The Scotsman
