About Stewart Lee: Pea Green Boat with special guests Pram

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 live improvised musical accompaniment from legends of Birmingham's experimental music scene, Pram.

These live shows mark the publication of PEA GREEN BOAT by Stewart Lee and illustrated by David Waywell, pre-order your copy when you book a ticket for the show, also available to buy on the night. Stew will also do a book signing session.

Stewart will be joined by post-rock Birmingham band Pram. They formed in the late 80s with a sound that ranges from exotica, Krautrock and the forgotten film soundtracks. Over the years Pram have expanded their ideas to encompass disorientating shifts in mood, with their new material seeing the band build on their distinctive soundscape with added textures and a raw, powerful live show careering from eerie to bone-shaking.
