Event
Ugly Chief (Jabberwocky Market)
By Victoria Melody
A Eulogy for a Living Soul, featuring Victoria Melody, Mike Melody and company.
AGES 14+
In 2013, Mike Melody (celebrity TV antique dealer) was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Victoria was put in charge of planning the funeral her Dad would want complete with eulogies, a congregation dressed in Blackpool FCs tangerine colour and a New Orleans jazz procession. A year later the doctors realised they had misdiagnosed Mike. But they are going ahead with the funeral anyway
Using Victorias training as a funeral director and a huge amount of research Ugly Chief looks at the British Funeral Industry and how we deal with death in modern society. Ugly Chief is a comedy based on true events performed by a real-life father and daughter. It explores the taboos around death and its practicalities, and the fractious relationship with a parent whose opinions you dont always agree with.
