David Shrigley’s Petcha Kutcha at Tramway in Glasgow make great viewing. If you’ve not heard of it before, ‘Petcha Kutcha’ is a type of presentation that started and became very popular in Japan. The speaker chooses 20 images and speaks about each one for 20 seconds. It can be about anything, but the format makes for some interesting - and funny in this case - talks.
