“Musically wonderful. Just a fantastic evening.”

“A cracking show.”

“He speaks the truth. And he’s terribly funny. And he brings a tear to your eye.”

In this hilarious and spirit-lifting one-man show, songwriter and author Terence Blacker celebrates one of the great challenges of life  –  the art of ageing with style. With songs described by Gyles Brandreth as “witty, wistful, wonderful”, plus anecdotes and a dash of wisdom, he shows how getting old can be the best, most liberating  – and funniest –  part of your life.

Old Enough To Know Better may not reveal the great secret of the coming of age, but Terence Blacker shares a world of fun, warmth and wisdom looking for it.

‘Melodic, funny, and with a touch of melancholy, Terence Blacker’s show blends sharp, knowing comedy with cracking tunes. You’re in for a treat.’ Craig Brown

“We need cheering up right now and this singer-songwriter…  is just the ticket.”   Sunday Times

 “Terence Blacker is a one-off… A hugely popular performer in folk clubs, his songs range from the tender to the satirical, and are always written with wit.”    Folk London

 “A consummate crowd-pleasing performer  –  brilliant.”    Northern Sky Magazine
