“Heggie constantly wrongfoots his crowd who have no choice but to roar with approval as we take in his Banjo Patterson meets Chopper Read wisdom and finally find out who really wins bar fights. A knock-out.”

"Heggie has the ability to articulately convey what we've been thinking in impressive monologues that have us in stitches by the end of the show."

“Every bit is delivered in the same stony-faced deadpan, but you never know where it’s going. A comedian in complete command of his powers, Heggie is a true one-off.”

Are you drawn to a darker more atmospheric storytelling style in music?

If you haven't worked out your plans for tomorrow night, we highly recommend coming to see The Deserters.

They have a kind of bluegrassy goth feel with influences like Tom Waits and Mystery.

We still have tickets available.
