Stewart Lee's Pea Green Boat

Sally Homer & John Mackay present
Charlotte Keeffe, Stewart Lee, Thurston Moore and Mark Wastell, perform
Pea Green Boat by Stewart Lee


An owl wakes up at sea in a pea green boat. It is accompanied by a cat, its natural predator. There is some honey. What chain of events led to this dangerous situation?

Stewart Lee performs his darkly comic tale based on Edward Lear’s ‘The Owl & The Pussy-Cat’ with an improvised soundtrack from a ludicrously overqualified trio comprising Charlotte Keeffe (Trumpet & Flugelhorn ~ Charlotte Keeffe’s RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, Sound Brush, London Jazz Composers Orchestra), Thurston Moore (Guitar - Thurston Moore Band, Sonic Youth), and Mark Wastell (Drums - Derek Bailey’s Company, David Sylvian, Maggie Nicols).

These live shows mark the publication of Pea Green Boat by Stewart Lee and illustrated by David Waywell (Ebury), and copies will be available to buy after the show.
