About Little Wander
Henry Paker previews his genre-defying new show Pencil Case in a 60-minute set at Just The Sub-Atomic Room, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show fuses stand-up with live illustration, shattering preconceptions about what comedy and drawing can do together. Paker is one of the Beans on the Three Bean Salad podcast and has illustrated books including Joe Wilkinson: My Autobiography, Kay's Anatomy and Amy Gets Eaten. The Times has called his work wonderfully ingenious.
Why see this show?
A stand-up who illustrates in real time is genuinely uncommon. Pencil Case is still in preview, which means the opportunity to see the show before it is fully formed — and to be part of what it becomes.
