Figgy Pudding

Jimmy Hogg—School of Contemporary Dancers

Jimmy reminds me of a more verbal Rowan Atkinson, with his expressive facial and body movements. This play explores life growing up in the Hogg family; and especially their Christmas traditions. Thus the title, with figgy pudding being a British holiday standard. He makes fun of his family; his poor parents in particular. I felt like a guest at the family’s holiday. He performs the entire play barefoot in his pajamas; a good choice to foster intimacy. It was a very enjoyable romp and I would recommend you join him.
