SAM SIMMONS IS NOT A PEOPLE PERSON
It could be about animals, it could be about arseholes, we’ll just have to wait and see! Won’t we? A work in progress from the winner
of the Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award 2015. “This really is Simmons at the top of his game: exhaustingly funny, daft and truly daring.”
***** Time Out, “Impeccably woven stream of weirdness... This show both demands attention and deserves it.” ***** The Times

SARA MASON BURT LANCASTER PIERCED MY HYMEN
The true story of Sara’s glitzy, hilarious and disturbing childhood in Beverly Hills. Growing up with film stars kids in LaLa Land was
fun, from kidnap to drugs to shrinks and to parties, the roller coaster Rock ‘N Roll life comes at a price. Unorthodox is putting it mildly!

SARA PASCOE AND THE MUSEUM OF ROBOT PUSSYCATS
A new religion for the faith-less age: Hatty the Hoover wants to break up with Henry. Thousands are trapped in a Lewisham gym. Rabbits lose
their sex drive. Jason Donovan comes round. One of the pods on the London Eye is haunted, but which one? A teenager’s face is so oily that
the US go to war with it. And more. And the robot pussycats. A new show from a lady who has been on Live at the Apollo, QI and Buzzcocks.
