In 2021, Nigel Osner nearly died when a routine operation went seriously wrong, leading to open heart surgery and a damaged lung.
A year later, he was able to create a new show. No mystery why it is called Still Ticking!.
In his first appearance in the Greater Manchester Fringe, Nigel examines 25 years of writing and performing. He illustrates his story with his original lyrics and monologues by characters including a jaded rock star, a man who hates being labelled, a woman who has given up men, a fangless vampire, an owl—and even Death.
Nigel has performed this show at fringe events in Ludlow, Camden and Brighton.
Still Ticking! will be at Sonata Piano & Cabaret Lounge, Manchester July 20.
