JUST STUPID

Stig Wemyss and Bolinda Audio could be accused of being over the top if they weren’t so much fun. Troubled Andy has a number of adventures. He must get to the rest room but is confronted with obstacle after obstacle; he gets stuck in a runaway pram; and he tries to get expelled from school to take it easy. Narrator Wemyss portrays Andy, an array of picky teachers, a protective mother bird, and an angry dog. His crazy delivery and wonderful sound effects enhance Griffiths’s fanciful writing. Wemyss is at his best when Andy wants to impress a girl but can’t resist seeing how many marshmallows he can eat. Listeners will find Andy irresistible. S.G.B.
