"Nick Revell has done for magic realism what Austin Powers did for James Bond." The Times

Nick is comfortably one of the best comic storytellers in the UK. An easy claim to make, but one backed up by years of successful touring and sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe. BrokenDreamCatcher is a series of contemporary comic tales that could almost be true. Anything can happen - and it probably will - when this master storyteller combines comedy with magic.

This episode is presented from The Fox and Gynaecologist, one of Islington鈥檚 last remaining traditional boozers. Life is rarely easy for a stand-up comedian who has to take on writing for the glossy gossip magazines, just to make ends meet, but the offer of a trip to tiny Transoxania (鈥淟and of Unparalleled Investment Opportunities!鈥�) to cover the wedding of their president, Genghis Khan III, is too tempting to turn down. It doesn鈥檛 go well.

These are outlandish stories told with energy, wit and intelligence served with both a smile and a barb. They are illustrated and supported by an original soundtrack written and performed by Paul Clark of London's Clod Ensemble.
