Tom Bugs @BugBrand 1h

From Skryll Vertex
"That was excellent, was like watching a Christian mystery play, written by David Lynch and performed by Reeves and Mortimer!"

and this one from Dartington:
Dog Prophet @Skryll_Vertex 18 Mar
Just saw the excellent @ergophizmiz perform "Gargantua".A mystery play about Pontiffs, Pan and Opium smoking meta detectives...Marvellous!

and Bridport:
John Butler ‏@the_woodlouse 17 Mar
@Pensham the cows were part of cool visuals to less-than-engaging support act. The main event was confusing but entertaining genius.

Podcast 4 - Smack, Smackeroons and Smacking Bottoms

Saturday night saw the grand unveiling of Mr Phizmiz's wonderful new production, and very well it went too. Fantastic turn out, lots of great comments, a thoroughly enjoyable evening had by all. Well done cast members Rob Lee, Growler Pounder and Dr Robertson and everyone else involved. Now they just got to to tour it up and down the country. Good luck to them! Here's another in our podcast series where cast and crew members got tipsy and attempted to explain aspects of Gargantua, or not.
