Nathan Penlington's show about our favourite Israeli metal bender is on at the Camden Fringe in August. I'll be along on the 12th with my gentleman friend, should that sway your choice of evening.

Uri's a super nice fellow, so enjoy the opportunity.

Here's the write-up.

Uri & Me by Nathan Penlington at the Camden Fringe - 12th-14th August 2010

'Wow, I just discovered Nathan Penlington! He is skilled, talented, mastering a tangible force of visionary mind power. His latest show is simply supernatural! and Nathan delivers it with mystical sensitivity. I highly recommend it!' - Uri Geller Nathan Penlington presents 'Uri & Me', an obsessive deconstruction of the spoon-bending cultural icon that fuses stand-up, spoken word, and psychic ability. 'Uri & Me' looks behind the celebrity that we all know and love, to reveal the subtle, complex, mindful and caring man that has created an exhaustive series of board games, an impressive folding bike, a range of porcelain plates, over fourteen fiction and non-fiction books, a line of jewellery produced exclusively for QVC, a collection of psychically energised teddy bears, and a pop album.

If you've never wondered what Uri has been up to since 1971, then this isn't the show for you.

'Nathan Penlington encourages us to think twice before accepting the ridiculous claims of mystical pretenders'- James Randi
