Melbourne International Comedy Festival presents
Rich Fulcher - An Evening With Eleanor: The Tour Whore (USA)
Synopsis
Directed by Dave Brown
Self-professed rock and roll ‘tour whore’ who recently appeared as Howard’s lover in The Mighty Boosh, Eleanor has lived a life most people scream about. Now the woman who claimed to make Neil ‘young’ and put the ‘wood’ in Woodstock – tells all through poetry, song, dance and confessional monologues that have been known to leave the audience feeling freshly molested. Prepare to get a pounding like you’re yesterday’s beef!
Eleanor is the trampish spawn of comedian Rich Fulcher – famed for his Boosh characters Bob Fossil, Kodiak Jack and cheesehead Tommy Nooka and co-star of the cult sketch show Snuff Box.
His newly released book Tiny Acts of Rebellion has won great praise.
"Inventive, hilarious and wonderfully silly." Comedian Bill Bailey
"Rich Fulcher is hands down one of the funniest men on the planet and i'm not entirely sure he's from earth." Comedian Simon Pegg
"Funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny funny and a bit sad." Comedian Danny Wallace
It’s been nine years since Rich was last in Melbourne when he managed to sink his teeth into the hallowed comedian’s choice Piece of Wood Award.
“Fulcher is like Eddie Izzard or Steve Martin, in the way his surreal take on life gives rise to sudden wild changes of subject. His ability to exchange deadpan delivery for crazy animation at the flick of a switch makes for great comedy.” The Scotsman, UK
