BY ANY OTHER NAME
Remember when BBC comedy used to introduce itseltas “Not the . . . ’? Well, without being at all Auntie-ish, Rose English is a bit like that.
She introduces laughs from the minute her six foot body assaults the stage, so quintessentially not the English rose. Yet her name is her own, and she sticks by it, puzzled by critics who call her ‘horse-like‘.
She has taken other roles however. The former Leeds Poly arts student has donned a tut and bower boots, turning herself into a surprising balletic tour-de-iorce. Or she has covered her equine features with masks in order to make herself attractive to the opposite empty corner of the stage. English’s love-life literally goes through a new stage on every performance of her tour.
Off stage she is giggly and enigmatic. on it, she is Mona Lisa on speed - hilarious, but disquieting. ‘l’m not interested in giving people a fright, but lam interested in engaging with them
as an audience,“ she says. You, the
audience, mayor may not become part
of the act. There again ‘you’ have
5 already been designated comedy. The shows title is ‘Thee, Thy, Thou and
5 Thine,’ a series of almost synonyms, ; ‘familair,yetunfamiliar'.
Afeminist, Rose is Iikelyto pose
; some mocking questions on what is
woman. She will also address a
collective ‘you‘ of men and women. An 3 admirer of Tommy Cooper, Rose is
E reluctant to be labelled as just
? eccentric. ‘I‘m very unpolarised—l like
the traditional and the avant garde.’ Her new show is, forthe first time, a two-hander, co-starring Richard
, Wilding, a stooge with a difference.
The absurd comedienne is planning ‘a good night out' for Glaswegians. ‘l'm not didactic, but not pandering either.’ She is a dark horse,out of mind, perhaps, but by design. Third Eye Centre. (Stephanie Billen).
