This warts-and-all portrait of the Blockheads’ lead singer tours direct from its second West End season, exploring the highs and lows of Ian Dury’s extraordinary career and inspirational life story. It features many of his best songs performed live, including Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick and Reasons To Be Cheerful.
Publicly, Ian Dury was a cheeky chappie and purveyor of saucy lyrics. Privately, he was a flawed maestro wrestling with demons and disability. This brilliant drama sees him reunited with his tour manager and friend Fred ‘Spider’ Rowe, blending amazing music with powerful scenes exploring Dury’s incredible triumph over adversity.
"A bracing blast of pop’s Noël Coward. Compelling." Daily Telegraph
