I Am A Coffee (1997/98)

A time-travelling, bike-mad postman falls prey to a desperate pair of unhinged fishmongers. Just imagine, one minute you’re slapping a few wet fish about and the next…..you’ve got a customer. That’s normal. Except that then the customer reveals himself to be a time spanning postman. Now that’s paranormal.

I Am A Coffee reveals the hazards of time travel and the versatility of fish shops. For the unhinged fishmongers, they’ve never had it so good. And as for the fish, they have nothing to compare it to. And as for the postman – he looks more like a bus driver.

Background
The second show from Peepolykus that toured in 1997/98, I Am A Coffee played an astonishing 80 dates across the UK, from village halls in Cornwall to a sell-out run at the Purcell Rooms as part of the 1998 London International Mime Festival. Peepolykus also performed the show across India (alongside Let The Donkey Go) as part of a four week tour organised by the British Council.
