JOELY POLEY, PUDDIN' & PIE - BY JC CLAPHAM

JC Clapham returns to Adelaide Fringe for his third solo show, after a 7-year hiatus. Following critical acclaim for ‘Humpty Dumpty Daddy’ and ‘Loves Me, Loves Me Not’, JC is ready to share some humorous and heartfelt anecdotes about shedding who he thought he was, and finding who he really could be.

This time though, he’s not alone… 

Coming on board and directing JC in this show is Brenda Spilva, founding director of Limelight Touring Company.

“JC’s got a real knack of being heartwarming, humorous and disarmingly honest.

He brings the audience in to his heart and talks about some heavy things really openly, interspersed with his cheeky charm.

Joely Poley looks at identity and the roles we are given, choose, lose, and create in our lives”, said Brenda.

JC’s two previous shows received rave reviews, and Brenda is anticipating a similar response to Joely Poley.

Come and see JC’s new show for yourself…
