Beating His Own Path

“Bob Karper: one man, a keyboard, an accordion, a screen and projector – and a bucketload of stories.  Bob Karper’s beating his own path, but there is something about him that reminds me of Laurie Anderson; perhaps it's the engaging and melodic American voice, but more I think it’s because his musicianship informs the performance in every way; the poetic lilt to the spoken text; the way the rhythms build as he flows from one tale to another – stories about friends called Steve and time spent teaching in Japan. Karper is an engaging presence, performing at The Nightingale Theatre, 7 & 8 May, Brighton Fringe.”
