Verbal Diary follows the life of Gordon, a hapless loser who decides to take charge of his life after his old one falls apart, by adopting two New Year's resolutions 1) to keep a diary and 2) get the girl. In this critically acclaimed, absurd musical. "Verbal Diary is an absolute must-see" - A Youngish Perspective ★★★★ Verbal Diary is a chaotic feel good show accompanied with original music by Rock and Rolls Greatest Failure, John Otway. Originally written by Otway and Paul Bradley (Eastenders, Holby City, Young Ones) it has a rich comedy history having been produced by the late great Rik Mayall. 40 years on, after supporting John Otway at a festival, Actor and Comedian Tom Johnson was given a free hand to rewrite and revive the show in his own way. Both Otway and Johnson have worked closely on reviving this comedy musical originally written in 1984, with Tom keeping the spirit of irreverent and anarchic comedy well alive in his writing. After a successfully received run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, it is now going on tour around England
