Manwatching

Written by an anonymous woman

Performed by an unprepared man

Following an international tour with the Royal Court Theatre we are thrilled to present this funny and frank insight into heterosexual female desire, read out loud by a male comic. This is a show about what one woman thinks when she thinks about sex with men.

“**** Frank and extremely confessional monologue about sexual desire” Anna Winter, The Stage

Taking on the challenge in Jersey will be comedian Christian Jegard on Friday 19 June, followed by writer and performer John Henry Falle on Saturday 20 June.

Because the performers encounter the script live on stage for the very first time, no two performances are ever quite the same.

Christian Jegard is a Jersey-born comedian currently based in Brighton whose growing national profile has recently seen him appear in the BBC New Comedy Awards. He can also be heard on BBC Radio 4 Extra and has been recognised across the UK comedy circuit as runner up in the Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year competition, runner up in Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year and a finalist in the Komedia New Comedy Award.

The Saturday performance will feature acclaimed local writer and performer John Henry Falle, known to many Islanders through his Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated alter-ego The Story Beast and his acclaimed ArtHouse Jersey projects including The Complete History Of Jersey (in under 10 minutes) and Riot! The Jersey Corn Riot 1769.

Falle’s work blends comedy, folklore, history and storytelling, with performances and commissions spanning everything from castles and standing stones to Hadrian’s Wall. His work has featured on BBC Radio 3 and 4 and BBC One’s Ghosts, while his local projects with ArtHouse Jersey and partners have engaged thousands of Island students and audiences.
