The newest episode in Wiki’s Insular Knowledge series – part comedy, part edutainment, part love letter to the world at large and islands in particular. Oh, that’s right: and to books!Because as weird Wikis and well-read audience members alike already know: islands are the books and stories of the ocean. Contained areas of fantasy, adventure, whims and larks, poetic landscapes, epic wildernesses, and the odd fist-eatingly boring desert in this wide, wild ocean of „Well, f*ck”.*As a self-proclaimed geography whiz and officially recognized magistress of literature, Wiki invites her audience to come aboard and enjoy fantasies of paradisiacal islands (here’s looking at you, Utopia) while reminiscing about the joy of the written word, from the bard to the beats, testing their knowledge of island nations and literary nations alike. Equally a joyous, mischievous romp from islands to books and back again, and a explorative, adventurous expedition into a more personal storytelling performance (how did Wiki end up on her bookish island?), this show blends the tried and tested medium of a multi-media slide-show with the tried and tested medium of books. A seriously playful storytelling journey for every inquisitive soul, smart Alec, and book worm. A (literally) universal show with a personal twist. Learn new things about the world you’re living in, and get answers to questions you didn’t even have. All to be taken with a grain of salt – or a wink of the eye.And so: To unpathed waters, undreamed shores. The rest, as they say, is islands.Suitable for all ages (no adult themes/obscenities), suggested for audiences 12+Running time: 50 minutes. “A must-see” – Amy Fallon, comedian“Pythonesque” – @standup_fanatic about 2023’s Wiki Knows Best – Mythical Islands.“A fun, quirky, and entertaining show […] Wiki is a wonderful character” – Anonymous, audience member*This is a family-friendly show.
