One of comedian Andy Jones' great creations, Uncle Val is a curmudgeonly old man, a dry wit, and an incisive critic of modern society.
Between 1986 and 1989 Uncle Val, an elderly outharbour gentleman, wrote nineteen letters from his new home in the suburbs of St. John’s to his old friend Jack back home. Val’s move from the Bay to the ‘burbs' to live with his daughter, her obnoxious husband, their youngsters and two useless poodles is an uneasy one. His slow adjustment and eventual appreciation for life in town is endearingly revealed through his letters to Jack.
Written by Andy Jones with Michael Jones Sr. Performed by Andy Jones. Dedicated to the Memory of Francis Colbert
