Event information

Baxter will always beat you to the punchline. He'll answer his own questions and he'll volunteer himself as the butt of the joke before you can. His ability to understand people's perception of him (or who they believe he is) is what has kept his work consistently surprising and inventive for over two decades now. And while it's his humour that draws you in, it's his linguistic acrobatics that you stay for; a wild barrage of emotion, colour and off kilter scenes.

Baxter Dury's latest album, "I Thought I Was Better Than You", is a new era for him, and with this new era comes a new character. "Faux-confrontational," Baxter calls him. Here, not only is he recounting his childhood, but he's also reckoning with it. Instead of just swinging at his past blindfolded with a baseball bat, he talks openly about the toxic cocktail of being born into unfortunately fortunate circumstances, with a persuasive surname but no structure or sense of responsibility with which reap the rewards of it. "Really, it's about being trapped in an awkward place between something you're actually quite good at, and somebody else's success." That 'somebody else' being his dad, Ian Dury. As one of the album centrepieces "Shadow" agonisingly puts it: "But no one will get over that you're someone's son/Even though you want to be like Frank Ocean/But you don't sound like him, you sound just like Ian."
