Tony Cowards has two
passions in life, football and comedy, which he effectively combines by being a lifelong
supporter of his hometown football club, Ipswich TownTell you what Clive, the boy
Cowards deserves a spotters badge, hes given it 110% and sold the audience an
absolute lollipop early doors. Ron Atkinson
Festival of Football is a
semi-autobiographical stand up show examining the effect that football has had on his life
and what it means to be a supporter in these days of Russian oil billionaires and American
corporate takeovers. Is football still, as
Karl Marx described it, the Opium of the masses or is it now the Bolivian
marching powder of the prawn sandwich brigade?
When I heard about this show I
immediately knew that Id love it! Id absolutely love it! Kevin
Keegan
Festival of Football is Tonys
Edinburgh Fringe debut, he has been performing stand up for over 4 years now, taking his
own brand of hilarity the length and breadth of the UK. A favourite at non-league football
clubs, this year Tony was asked to perform at the prestigious end of season players
awards ceremony at Billericay Town FC!
Some
people believe Festival of Football is a matter of life and death. I can
assure you it is much, much more important than that. Bill Shankly
In addition to his stage appearances Tony
recently made his TV debut as a football pundit previewing the East Anglian derby for ITV
Regional News (Anglia).
I spent a lot of money on booze,
birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered, so thank goodness Festival of
Football is free! George Best |
