GARGANTUA review in Mersey Blogs
Nice little review of GARGANTUA by Peter Guy on Mersey Blogs, part of a longer review about the magnificent UpItUp 10th Birthday weekender...
"Ergo Phizmiz and The Wyrding Module topped a bill that brought nigh-on incomparable music and theatre to Liverpool's Mello Mello....This preceded Ergo Phizmiz's Gargantua - a genuinely unique stage-show full of toilet humour, gigantic papier-mâché heads, sliced up gramophone recordings and disturbing religious imagery.

As impossible as it was to follow the spiralling, convoluted plot, the visual imagery, wordplay and music all made for an other worldly experience the likes of which only Phizmiz could conjure."
