So on Tuesday night I once again returned to the Butterfly Club to see ‘A Hip Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy’ from Backwards Anorak.
How best to describe…? It’s strange. Daggy and proud, with a mix of original songs, quite interesting covers ranging from ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights’, to ‘Cheers’, ‘Seasame Street’ and ‘Rocky Horror’. 80s fashion adorned alien Prince Harian seeks the love of his life; a mysterious vixen called “Siri”. And that’s kind of it for the plot.
No, seriously. It’s 50 minutes of people in 80s era clothing taking cracks at pop culture. I can’t quite describe it, you really do need to see it for yourself. I sat confused and bemused, and I can’t quite put my finger on why it was so fantastic. I think it helps that it’s a small room; you really get a sense of intimacy, the feeling that we’re all friends getting together for a laugh.
Oh hang on. There was a sexual deviant sock puppet.
