Bok, Bok, Bok

Crossroads regular Ian Bok had his first one-man show in Amsterdam recently. Made up of sketches and improvisations, the show featured a cast of characters from an alien and a curtain-witch through to a Turkish man in a White-Man suit. Ian has a face made of rubber, a vast supply of accents and a thousand strange characters living in hi head. Several passages in the show relied on jabbertalk, Ian's own Dutch-English-Italian-Russian hybrid. It is wonderful how funny and human jokes can be in a language no-one speaks - or how much can be communicated in a ten minute sketch whose only word is 'ja'. This is a great show. If you missed it, then let's launch a campaign to get Ian a whole season....
