Hit Me! The Life And Rhymes Of Ian Dury is a warts-and-all portrait of the Blockheads’s lead singer exploring the highs and lows of Dury’s extraordinary career and inspirational life story.

The show features many of his best songs performed live, including Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick and Reasons To Be Cheerful.

Publicly, Dury was a cheeky chappie and purveyor of saucy lyrics. Privately, he was a flawed maestro wrestling with demons and disability. The drama, Hit Me! The Life And Rhymes Of Ian Dury, sees him reunited with his tour manager and friend Fred ‘Spider’ Rowe, blending amazing music with powerful scenes exploring Dury’s incredible triumph over adversity.
