FORKED Special: Richard Tyrone Jones' Big Heart
We welcome Richard Tyrone Jones back with his full length one man show ‘ Richard Tyrone Jones' Big Heart, plus support from the South West’s hero of spoken word and stand up poetry Matt Harvey and Bristol’s legendary rising star Harry Baker. All tied up in a ribbon by Mama Tokus: see you there folks!
For his thirtieth birthday RTJ, the healthy, gym-going “Ringmaster of Spoken Word" (****Three Weeks) got an unexpected present: heart failure.
Now, having battled back from the brink of death, he explains, with a unique prescription of cardiomyopoetry and anecdosage, how almost dying can actually improve your life.
So learn the lurid details of near-near death from dilated cardiomyopathy, a convoluted convalescence and how to live with the condition which will almost certainly kill you in this, RTJ's long-awaited, understandably-delayed debut solo show. For anyone who ever had a heart. Or failure. Clear!
“fascinating, sobering, hilarious, and ultimately uplifting.”
New Scientist
"masterfully manages the listeners' mood as it oscillates between laughter and despair... It is a big-hearted show, and a valuable lesson in making the most of whatever life throws at you. Highly recommended."
