PENNY MATTHEWS: IT’S LIFE JIM, BUT IT’S SH*T<br />

Hi, I’m Penny and lately I’ve been doing a bit of soul-searching; trying to understand why things are the way they are in my life. My findings<br />

so far are quite interesting! This show will be some kind of mixture of stories, art, silly fun, speed debating and general nonsense<br />

(whoever he is!). It’ll examine my own life (which has gone a bit wrong) as well as life in general here on Earth... and beyond!*Eerie music!*<br />
