Philip Douch reads stories. He chats for a bit, and then he reads you his stories. Disarmingly simple. Probably unlike anything you’ve seen before. Full of laughs and sometimes gently moving. He performs these warm and witty stories all over the place. Remarkably, people keep inviting him back.

He’s read at The Green Man and Croissant Neuf festivals; on the back of a land rover; at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, and at a pirate party (he preferred the pirates, but the Lit Fest looks better on the CV). A regular at Stroud Short Stories and Story Fridays in Bath, he’s now on tour – with guest reader Clare Reddaway here at Burdall’s Yard. Probably a good idea not to miss him really.

‘A huge high.... I haven't laughed so much for ages.’
‘Thank you for bringing joy into my evening.’
‘The evening was a triumph.....Really really fun!
And the audience loved it.’
