Take one dancing fool who sings a bit and plays some strange wind instruments
and a failed pantomime villain on accoustic guitar and you get
THE BIG FIBBERS
- A dangerously different duo from a dark kettle of fish. They write songs
about booze, aliens, fish and more booze. - From the sublime to the ridiculous
they fall somewhere between humour and despair with bits of mayhem and beauty
thrown in for good measure. They don’t deal in clichés. They are........
THE BIG FIBBERS.
If you wanna hear what the Fibbers sound like, go to www.myspace.com/thebigfibbers
where you can become our friends and do all that other myspace sort of stuff.

BUCKET NEWS
Buckets are pretty quiet these days, but there'll
be an update Real Soon Now!
|
The idea is to create a variety
show for the 21st century in the basement bar of one of Stokie's fave
turkish cafés. There are be musical turns, cabaret, poets, the
odd stand-up (the odder the better), lots of drunken tomfoolery, NO jugglers
- the ceiling isn't high enough - and amazing sounds from The Imperial
Starship of Noise. And of course The Big Fibbers and - The Beautiful Bucket
of Fun - whatever that is - probably a big bucket containing some strange
and beautiful things which perhaps you might be able to win.
The Big Fibbers Beautiful Bucket
of Fun @ The Bodrum Cafe, 61 Stoke Newington High St, N16. (See here
for map) Tel: 020 7254 6464)
Doors 7.00pm. Show 8.00 - 11.00pm. £3 entry (delicious hot &
cold food available).

the phenomenal success of The Beautiful Bucket of Fun cabaret club in
Stoke Newington, The Fibbers now have other Buckets all over

at the Stokie Bucket. There will be musical turns, cabaret,
poets, the odd stand-up (the odder the better) and lots of
drunken tomfoolery. And with the high ceiling at The Walrus
there might even be jugglers and acrobats! With amazing sounds
from The Imperial Starship of Noise.

| THE
BIG FIBBERS BEAUTIFUL BUCKET OF BURLESQUE!
Yes! The Big Fibbers leap or more like lurch sideways
into the glamorous and decadent world of burlesque. So come
along to an evening of zany fools, zappy showgirls, fun, feathers
and zimmer frames. (that's the Painted Lady's zimmer frame
and not the Big Fibber's)
Dressing up, dressing fantastically, dressing daringly and
deliciously will be greatly appreciated
