THROUGHOUT his life Sean Hughes has been battling to stay on the right side of sanity.

This is because, it finally dawned on him, the two sides of his brain are in constant conflict.

There is common sense against mumbo jumbo and mumbo jumbo seems to have the upper hand. So like a good comedian he turned this realisation into a show, Mumbo Jumbo.

In his latest tour, he will treat audiences to some bonkers stories, like the time he was serenaded by The Cure’s Robert Smith at Jane Seymour’s house, and the time he searched for mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

There will be a few poems and a three-minute musical about ageing too.

Sean Hughes will appear at the Arts Centre on Sunday 11 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16. They are available on 01793 524481 or at swindontheatres.co.uk.
