We kicked off in Bath, in partnership with the Bath Fringe and the Natural Theatre Company. During our month-long residency at Funny Peculiar HQ, 36/37 Wastage Street, we spoke to people about local characters and mapped the local eccentricity levels. We worked with the Naturals to deliver workshops at youth centres in outlying areas of the city and with Tessa McGinn to develop a Peculiar Choir for the show finale. We worked with a brilliant bunch of local performers who popped up at various points along the route, helping us remember the characters of Walcot Nation Day and providing a colourful cavalcade through the city centre with a nod to Bath’s Pigeon Man on the way.
