Packed with song and silliness, Backstage Pass is a funny and fearless look at the legacy of mental illness in the arts, our reticence towards self care, and what draws us to the magic and the mayhem of live theatre.

It’s the return of SKETCHBURN: the sketches of tomorrow, today!

(And by ‘today’, I mean 'Tuesday, 17th June’.)

A ragtag group of comedy writers, performers and ne’er-do-wells present works-in-progress of their latest sketch comedy films. The aim: to bring the feedback loop of live comedy to filmed comedy sketches, at every stage of the process:

• 📚 The Readings: staged readings of brand-new sketch scripts

• 🎬 The Rough Cuts: screenings of rough cuts fresh from the edit

• 🍿 The Showcase: screenings of finished sketches, ready to go

This month, we've got:

• 📚 Sketch scripts from: Aruhan Galieva, Hari Kanth, Stuart Laws, Alex Lubetkin

• 🎭 Read by: Aruhan Galieva, Ishan Ganjoor, Alex Lubetkin, Megan Rose McCarthy

• 🍿 Sketch films from: Marcia Davies, Christian Jegard, Robbie Taylor Hunt, Stuart Laws

As well as listening out for what makes you laugh, there’ll be space for more direct feedback too – so you can help us decide which bits to keep and which bits to burn forever. 

So if you’re a fellow comedy creator who loves dissecting the metaphorical frog, or a comedy fan who wants to peek behind the metaphorical curtain, then SKETCHBURN is the (non-metaphorical) night for you!

(And if you want to skip the booking fee, you can call the box office directly: 020 7482 4857)

Two married researchers, isolated on a remote outpost in the mid-Atlantic and under surveillance by a sociologist, find two political campaigners washed up on-shore. The UK is ravaged by civil war, leaving the three scientists on the last piece of neutral British territory, and forced to make an impossible decision.

The year is 2045. The Earth and humanity are rapidly collapsing under the weight of their own so called progress.

In amongst the chaos, 200 of the world’s brightest (and richest) minds are selected to seek salvation 140 million miles away, on Mars, to begin a brand new civilisation.

As launch day approaches, the cracks in the mission begin to show. The planet seems to stir. An ancient presence begins to speak and Monica starts to ask a terrifying question:

What if humanity doesn’t deserve a second chance?

Rachel and Max are an ordinary couple, living ordinary lives until something extraordinary turns everything upside down. Now they have the single most important decision of their life to make.

They piece together their thoughts, bit by bit, good and bad, speaking the things you shouldn’t say and contemplating the never ending ‘What ifs’.

Extra Ordinary follows Max and Rachel as they consider the news that their unborn baby will be born with Down’s syndrome. They are faced with many life-changing decisions -- should they proceed with further testing, how will their lives change, what complexities will their child have, will they be able to support their child? The list goes on. Ultimately, is there a right decision?

Extra Ordinary is an emotional rollercoaster, exploring the differing perspectives of a mother and father. As they debate, reflect, and consider all the possibilities, the question remains, will they reach a conclusion?

This piece of new writing examines the progress of science and the effects of the high- risk methods used to test mothers in similar situations today. Extra Ordinary is a powerful, thought-provoking experience that will leave you pondering, what you would do in their position?

Following the performance there will be a post-show Q&A with the actors and playwright. 

"Verbal Diary is an absolute must-see" - A Youngish Perspective ****  

 Verbal Diary is a chaotic feel good show accompanied with original music by “Rock and Roll’s Greatest Failure”, John Otway. Originally written by Otway and Paul Bradley (Eastenders, Holby City, Young Ones) it has a rich comedy history having been produced by the late great Rik Mayall. 40 years on, after supporting John Otway at a festival, Actor and Comedian Tom Johnson was given a free hand to rewrite and revive the show in his own way. Both Otway and Johnson have worked closely on reviving this comedy musical originally written in 1984, with Tom keeping the spirit of irreverent and anarchic comedy well alive in his writing. 

After a successfully received run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024, it is now going on tour around England…

 "Hidden Gem of the Fringe" - Fringe Review *****

He does this by adapting to two New Year's resolutions; 1) to keep a diary and 2) get the girl. Which happens to be his new medical student flatmate, Cheryl.

 But Cheryl, along with the other two residents, wide boy Phil and Tristram the pretentious artist, have other ideas. Unbeknownst to Gordon, his new flatmates start to read his diary and anticipate his every move. Gordon must navigate his new world, of chasing Cheryl, trying to impress his unhinged boss Eric and building a friendship with Phil and Tristram. All while trying to make a name for himself as a photojournalist.

"Johnson is one of Comedy's Naturals" - Estuary Fringe Reporter

 This is a tale of the underdog. Struggling to find his way through friendship, love, loneliness and realising that not everything has happy endings in the way he envisaged, in this absurd and warm hearted comedy. With a live guitarist and string section showcasing an excellent and interesting array of Otway's back catalogue and specially written tracks just for this production.

 To see it is "a must" - The Scotsman

 Oh, and the Set? "It must be the best piece of creative design on display at the Fringe"... See for yourself.

Please note this is a preview for the Edinburgh Fringe run of 4’s a Crowd (Or What Not to Do When Stuck in a Bunker During the Apocalypse)

16+ (Guideline) Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes, scenes of violence, strong language/swearing

Ever wondered what sort of people would be left to rebuild the world after it ends? This brand new comedy play by The Fiascoholics takes a satirical swipe at the idiots left behind following a nuclear apocalypse.

4’s a Crowd (Or What Not to Do When Stuck in a Bunker During the Apocalypse) is a farcical fast-paced buckaroo, set in a not-so-fictional world where the rich’s power grows as their intelligence shrinks. We follow a group of five survivors - a geezer, a Welsh boy-scout, a C-list actor and two billionaires claiming to be the same person - locked in a bunker with only enough supplies for four. As Wotsits supplies dwindle by the minute, they are faced with an impossible decision… Who is getting the boot?

Lily Cheng Wangshuo believed that every interaction that could have been a fist fight, should have been a fist fight, which is probably why she ended up here. Today she has two auditions, a million things to pack, and a million things to unpack. It's a lot, but thank God her boyfriend Brandon is here.

In 1834, a Chinese woman was imported to the United States and displayed as part of a sideshow attraction to accompany other Chinese goods. Now, having taken inflation into account, we thought you should be able to see something that is not quite like that for twelve pounds.

Experience the heartaches, laughs, and life-changing revelations in this emotionally charged production. The story follows Dan, a young man grappling with the sudden loss of his father, and the unexpected helping hand of Brandon, his polar opposite and rather disliked friend. As Dan struggles with his grief, his girlfriend Alice harbours a life-changing secret. With their lives poised on the edge of new beginnings and unpredictable emotions, this play is a rollercoaster of joy, sorrow, and the power of unwanted friendship.

All These Pretty Things : One Woman Show A musical Memoir

Book by Tracey Yarad and Tessa Souter
Music and lyrics by Tracey Yarad
Directed by Tessa Souter

What do you do when your husband leaves you for your teenage goddaughter? You dye your wedding dress black, write some killer songs and make a show #TrueStory

An emotionally raw blend of memoir and song, Tracey Yarad’s All These Pretty Things is a phoenix rising from the ashes story, taking the audience from Australia and the fallout of a devastating divorce following her husband's affair with their teenage goddaughter, to New York City and an inspiring new life. An evocative portrayal of one woman’s capacity to come back stronger than ever, it is an inspirational testament to the human spirit.

'All These Pretty Things is the kind of show that demands a standing ovation.' –The List *****

Different characters in different timelines live their lives far removed from one another. Each walks the earth in their own time, with their own personality, their own choices, the completely different paths they follow. Thin and random threads weave their distant existences. The only thing that unites them is that they all share the same face.

It is said that for each person, there are seven living doppelgängers in the world. If that is true, then how many people might have existed throughout history, living their lives with our exact same face?
Who were these people? What choices did they make? What were they looking for? And what are we looking for?

Anna Manuelli, best known to UK audiences for her recent role in SAS: Rogue Heroes 2, by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, now brings to the stage a bold and intriguing solo performance. Here, everything changes—timelines, contexts, choices, personalities. The only constant is the face, carrying the same questions and the same insatiable search for meaning.

Experience the heartaches, laughs, and life-changing revelations in this emotionally charged production. The story follows Dan, a young man grappling with the sudden loss of his father, and the unexpected helping hand of Brandon, his polar opposite and rather disliked friend. As Dan struggles with his grief, his girlfriend Alice harbours a life-changing secret. With their lives poised on the edge of new beginnings and unpredictable emotions, this play is a rollercoaster of joy, sorrow, and the power of unwanted friendship.

He just wants her safe. She just wants her life. Is there a place in the world for both?

Woman and Man are the epitome of the modern couple in love. He likes Eurovision, she takes the piss. On her twenty-third birthday their small London flat hosts vegan pancakes and her dying need to get ready for a big night out. But he doesn’t want her to go. Not after what happened last night. Because what happened last night can never happen again.

‘I’m Fine, It’s Just the Wine’ is a fast paced two-hander driven by feminist themes and witty comedy. It is a fresh showcase on how toxic masculinity can affect the non toxic man and explores what happens when a woman refuses to be labelled a victim.

All These Pretty Things : One Woman Show A musical Memoir

Book by Tracey Yarad and Tessa Souter
Music and lyrics by Tracey Yarad
Directed by Tessa Souter

What do you do when your husband leaves you for your teenage goddaughter? You dye your wedding dress black, write some killer songs and make a show #TrueStory

An emotionally raw blend of memoir and song, Tracey Yarad’s All These Pretty Things is a phoenix rising from the ashes story, taking the audience from Australia and the fallout of a devastating divorce following her husband's affair with their teenage goddaughter, to New York City and an inspiring new life. An evocative portrayal of one woman’s capacity to come back stronger than ever, it is an inspirational testament to the human spirit.

"2.36 is the average family size - families never add up cleanly"

Josh Carrington is in love with his Luxembourgish roots. Keira Carrington has to remind him that their Father was born in Luxembourg to avoid taxes on their Grandfather’s property empire.

Marigold Productions present 2.36 - a gripping drama investigating a siblings’ relationship as the world they know changes over one long night.

Exploring themes of ambition, hypocrisy and mendacity, 2.36 follows Keira and Josh on an ancestral trip to Luxembourg. The world they know changes overnight as secrets within the Carrington family arise, and the siblings’ agendas go beyond reconnecting. As the night spirals out of control, so do the facades that Josh and Keira display”

Anoushka Cowan (Friday Night Flop - Pears Short Film Fund Winner of the Jewish Film Festival, Turning Point - Mae West - BBC Radio 4) and Elijah Lifton (Soultide - Camden Fringe 2024 ★★★★★ - Adventures in Theatreland, LAMDA Foundation 24’ graduate) launch Marigold Productions, a new company developing bold, character-led work.

Enter the shadowy world of espionage, where a rookie secret agent puts his skills to the test, taking you on a gripping mission through mime and live soundscapes.
In A.I.M [An Invisible Mission], our agent races against time to crack his first mission - no cameras, no CGI, just two performers conjuring car chases, explosions, and spy intrigue live on stage. Watch as mime collides with live foley artistry in this genre-bending homage to spy films.
Fresh from a crowd pleasing pilot praised as “one of the best devised shows” ever seen and “beautifully executed,” this experimental show invites audiences to rediscover the thrill of storytelling through sound and movement. Mission Impossible meets Mime, this show is perfect for fans of inventive theatre, and anyone who’s ever wanted to be a spy.

Lost Property is a cutting-edge one-woman show that explores the complexities of womanhood and the intricate dynamics of female relationships.

Set during a morning tram commute, Alice, an unrelenting optimist, embarks on a journey to reclaim a lost possession after an encounter with a stranger. Retracing her steps over the past year, Alice confronts her recent decisions, untangling her morphed view of female solidarity in order to recover what she has lost.

Blending absurdity and comedy with poignant reflections on solidarity, Lost Property poses the provocative question: What do women truly owe each other?

Laughter is the only medicine still available.
Not set where you think it is. Nope, it's the Great Nation of Vulgaria!

Relative Sonics is an experimental new work that reimagines Thomas Edison’s

invention of the world’s first phonograph. Through the echoed relationships of two

playful, restless teenagers and the older, resilient love between Edison and his wife, the

play unfolds a landscape shaped by memory and presence, love and loss, and the fragile

boundary between technology and humanity. In the intricate web of past and present,

we are confronted with the cost of chasing permanence in a fleeting world. Relative

Sonics also traces the quiet, often unseen labour of those who hold space for visionaries,

those who wait, witness, and carry the weight of dreaming while others chase the

unreachable. Happenings Stage, a London-based theatre collective, debuts this original

production by playwright and director Mingming Liu. Dedicated to creating bold new

work that taps into the spirit of the now, Happenings brings the remembered and the

imagined to life through the lasting power of a well-told story, one that lingers long

after the lights go down.

Lily Cheng Wangshuo believed that every interaction that could have been a fist fight, should have been a fist fight, which is probably why she ended up here. Today she has two auditions, a million things to pack, and a million things to unpack. It's a lot, but thank God her boyfriend Brandon is here.

In 1834, a Chinese woman was imported to the United States and displayed as part of a sideshow attraction to accompany other Chinese goods. Now, having taken inflation into account, we thought you should be able to see something that is not quite like that for twelve pounds.

“What would you say if your words had no consequences?”

The day has finally arrived for childhood romantics Daisy and Marmaduke – the house is clean, scented candles are blazing, expensive wine prepped in the pantry – now all is left to be done is to pass a very simple trial: love. Set in the near future where all must be in a relationship by the age of twenty-five, the lovers must prove their bond to a visiting couple of judges if they are to imagine any kind of future together. Every relationship has its flaws – but it just so happens that Daisy and Marmaduke are hiding something much bigger than just a simple blemish. And when all is laid out on the table, the fight for love becomes a bloody war...

LA is burning. When a pair of old Angelenos lose everything, they must navigate overwhelming grief, toxic ash and paperwork purgatory, surrounded by clueless celebs, soulless politicians and insurance vampires. 6000 miles away, their (very) anxious daughter is trying really hard not to unravel.

Burn Baby Burn: LA Inferno is a stripped-back, sharp-witted mix of storytelling, satire, and songs, exploring the human cost of climate change and the humans fanning the flames. Asking questions that nobody wants to answer like: why was LA’s biggest reservoir empty? What the hell is a ‘firenado’? And just how quickly will you be cancelled for posting a ‘fire selfie’?

With a childhood shaped by wildfires and her parents' home destroyed in January’s blaze, Erin’s doing the most rational thing–turning her heartbreak and existential dread into a show.

Burn Baby Burn is Erin Hunter’s second solo show, following the success of critically acclaimed Surfing the Holyland which garnered nominations for the Popcorn/BBC New Writing Award at Ed Fringe and an Offie at Brighton Fringe.

Produced by Slackline Productions, champions of women 35+, and directed by its founder, Kristin Duffy.

“What would you say if your words had no consequences?”

The day has finally arrived for childhood romantics Daisy and Marmaduke – the house is clean, scented candles are blazing, expensive wine prepped in the pantry – now all is left to be done is to pass a very simple trial: love. Set in the near future where all must be in a relationship by the age of twenty-five, the lovers must prove their bond to a visiting couple of judges if they are to imagine any kind of future together. Every relationship has its flaws – but it just so happens that Daisy and Marmaduke are hiding something much bigger than just a simple blemish. And when all is laid out on the table, the fight for love becomes a bloody war...

From playwright Harry Daisley comes a new scintillatingly twisted black comedy, showcasing the miracles and impossibilities of loving in a censored world.

LA is burning. When a pair of old Angelenos lose everything, they must navigate overwhelming grief, toxic ash and paperwork purgatory, surrounded by clueless celebs, soulless politicians and insurance vampires. 6000 miles away, their (very) anxious daughter is trying really hard not to unravel.

Burn Baby Burn: LA Inferno is a stripped-back, sharp-witted mix of storytelling, satire, and songs, exploring the human cost of climate change and the humans fanning the flames. Asking questions that nobody wants to answer like: why was LA’s biggest reservoir empty? What the hell is a ‘firenado’? And just how quickly will you be cancelled for posting a ‘fire selfie’?

With a childhood shaped by wildfires and her parents' home destroyed in January’s blaze, Erin’s doing the most rational thing–turning her heartbreak and existential dread into a show.

Burn Baby Burn is Erin Hunter’s second solo show, following the success of critically acclaimed Surfing the Holyland which garnered nominations for the Popcorn/BBC New Writing Award at Ed Fringe and an Offie at Brighton Fringe.

Expect high-energy farce, lightning-fast quick changes and pun-filled chaos in a show inspired by Mischief Theatre, Fawlty Towers and The Mighty Boosh. Beneath the madness lies a sharp, silly take on family, heritage and the brutal reality of small businesses in a corporate world.

Lotophagi Theatre Company brings you a brand new adaptation of an Ancient Greek Tragedy: Euripides' 'Bacchae'! It’s the height of the psychedelic 60s and Pentheus, a cynical and jaded young man, believes he is being intentionally tormented by the new-age cult of Dionysus. Taking place over the course of a singular day, this play follows Pentheus as he comes to terms with his mother’s decision to abandon him in favour of joining the cult. Dionysus may claim to be a god, but that is the one thing our tragic protagonist is itching to prove wrong, even if he destroys himself in the process. 'Pentheus' is the story of a young man surrounded by sex, drugs, and social change, exposing the confusion that may lie behind the barricades of learned, self-destructive behaviours.

Kitt can be a bit of a bitch. Noel can be an asshole. But they loved each other, once. Why don’t they anymore? And why don’t they even recognize one another?

Noel and Kitt enter a Launderette, but as their eyes meet, they can’t quite place where they know each other from. Over the next hour, they air their dirty laundry, chatting shit about their exes without realizing they're talking to the very same. As their clothes get sudsy, they discover more about each other, and the life they shared, until they start to remember who they were (or are) to each other.

Memory is a tricky thing- it can make us forget things it deems painful. But what happens when we come face to face with those memories? How hard will your mind work to keep you in the dark?

Spin Cycle is a queer love story about the space between loving someone and not, forgetting and remembering, and dirty and clean clothes. It is a bittersweet, absurdist piece that delves into a complex relationship and explores how love can affect someone long after it is forgotten.

“Berserk Theatre” is co-run by Zofia Zerphy and Vilde Bjorkedal. Spin Cycle is their third play, following An Average Family (★★★★ – Adventures in Theatre Land), and their debut play How to Urn a Living, ( ★★★★ – Everything Theatre, ★★★★ – Theatre and Art Reviews).

Fin a freelance illustrator is working a zero-hour contract as a cycle courier, her free-spirited and unconventional approach to life at odds with the expectations of those around her. Her discovery in her late twenties that she is pregnant leads her to confront her own belief systems and examines the othering of expectant mothers.

'Am I Losing My Mind Or Just My Figure' premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24 years ago winning a London transfer to the Pleasance in London.
New elements have been introduced since its first outing in 2001, with actor and theatre maker Genevieve Labuschagne collaborating with the show’s originator Sam Holland-Bunyan.

This version, whilst maintaining much of the original considers some of the crises that Labuschagne has herself experienced as a woman in her late twenties attempting to manage the pressures of an unconventional career, misguided relationships, and the decision to have a child.

“A delicate and wistful reflection on pregnancy, something rarely explored in the theatre" The Stage

"One of the braver, more sensitive, and infinitely more memorable shows on the Fringe” The Scotsman****

Inventive, physical and achingly human. The show comically explores life, pregnancy & parenthood. It shines a light on how not only so much of who we are and what we do is shaped by those who raise us but also how so much of what we experience changes us.

Fin a freelance illustrator is working a zero-hour contract as a cycle courier, her free-spirited and unconventional approach to life at odds with the expectations of those around her. Her discovery in her late twenties that she is pregnant leads her to confront her own belief systems and examines the othering of expectant mothers.

'Am I Losing My Mind Or Just My Figure' premiered at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 24 years ago winning a London transfer to the Pleasance in London.
New elements have been introduced since its first outing in 2001, with actor and theatre maker Genevieve Labuschagne collaborating with the show’s originator Sam Holland-Bunyan.

This version, whilst maintaining much of the original considers some of the crises that Labuschagne has herself experienced as a woman in her late twenties attempting to manage the pressures of an unconventional career, misguided relationships, and the decision to have a child.

“A delicate and wistful reflection on pregnancy, something rarely explored in the theatre" The Stage

"One of the braver, more sensitive, and infinitely more memorable shows on the Fringe” The Scotsman****

Inventive, physical and achingly human. The show comically explores life, pregnancy & parenthood. It shines a light on how not only so much of who we are and what we do is shaped by those who raise us but also how so much of what we experience changes us.

Welcome to a world where suffering is currency, where trauma is art, and where pain is the ultimate proof of existence. In this surreal, gut-wrenching journey, a wanderer ascends a crumbling building, floor by floor, through a labyrinth of twisted memories and psychological wreckage.

Inspired by the Jirai Kei phenomenon, And Tonight No One Descends is an experimental theatre piece which explores how pain is internalised and externalised in different ways. Will you watch from a distance, or will you recognise yourself in the wreckage? Through this journey, the play examines the universal struggle with trauma, inviting audiences to reflect on their own experiences with empathy and understanding.

Following a sell-out, 4.5/5 star run in Cambridge, Sameera brings her “poignant, committed, absurd and utterly delightful” (The Tab, 2025) show to Camden.

Six women, exiled from their homes. Sent to colonise a new land. A boat. Powerful men, oppressed women. You can guess what happens next. A journey that takes longer than expected, and weathers more than storms. Navigating life on the ship is a crueller fate than the destination, and the convicts have a choice to make. Using the devices of theatre, music and narrative we bring women to life, three-dimensionally and unapologetically. What happens when women close their legs and open their mouths?

Kitt can be a bit of a bitch. Noel can be an asshole. But they loved each other, once. Why don’t they anymore? And why don’t they even recognize one another?

Noel and Kitt enter a Launderette, but as their eyes meet, they can’t quite place where they know each other from. Over the next hour, they air their dirty laundry, chatting shit about their exes without realizing they're talking to the very same. As their clothes get sudsy, they discover more about each other, and the life they shared, until they start to remember who they were (or are) to each other.

Memory is a tricky thing- it can make us forget things it deems painful. But what happens when we come face to face with those memories? How hard will your mind work to keep you in the dark?

Spin Cycle is a queer love story about the space between loving someone and not, forgetting and remembering, and dirty and clean clothes. It is a bittersweet, absurdist piece that delves into a complex relationship and explores how love can affect someone long after it is forgotten.

“Berserk Theatre” is co-run by Zofia Zerphy and Vilde Bjorkedal. Spin Cycle is their third play, following An Average Family (★★★★ – Adventures in Theatre Land), and their debut play How to Urn a Living, ( ★★★★ – Everything Theatre, ★★★★ – Theatre and Art Reviews).

At Etcetera, 'Gap' boldly confronts the 'anti-AI' debate transforming creative industries.

Director Kirill Levman on his AI collaboration: 'No, it isn't some ‘wanna-be writer’ taking an AI shortcut. Yes, I was desperate—exhausted from scouring contemporary works and fighting copyright battles. Classical plays are brilliant, but I couldn't find inspiration that fits my mood in this situation. So why not collaborate with AI? Can you watch five minutes of television without hearing about it? Welcome to a new era.'

The story follows gallery owner Kirsten Blackwood caught in a volatile triangle with her young artist boyfriend George and ambitious influencer friend Christopher. Their drawing room drama escalates when George's AI-assisted art challenges Kirsten's traditional values while Christopher pursues viral fame at any cost.

Set in the art world, the play reflects our shared anxiety about artificial creativity, echoing genuine concerns about AI's impact on human expression. The production embraces this contradiction—incorporating AI while affirming theatre's human essence. Join the conversation! Scan the QR code to enter our WhatsApp group and participate.

‘Silent Approach’

written by Caroline Lamb / directed by Helen Parry

A one-act play based on real events.

When the treatment received in a secure unit would be considered assault in the outside world, can we really call it care? 

In 2007, Rebecca House was a serving police officer with the Lancashire Constabulary. In the midst of a severe mental health breakdown, during which she tried to end her own life, she was arrested by her own colleagues in her own home.

She was then sectioned under The Mental Health Act with her parents tirelessly campaigning for her release.

Silent Approach, based on Rebecca’s book, Police To Paranoia, is the theatrical re-telling of her arrest, detainment, and her experiences at the hands of the professionals whose actions and decisions were to shape her future life and health

Content warning: Mental health struggles (paranoia, psychosis, depression), ableism, descriptions of death, suicide, depictions of violence, strong language 

(Through her Lancashire-based organisation S.I.S. Strength In Struggles, Rebecca works tirelessly to provide fee-free alternative therapies to those struggling with their mental health.)

Normally known for his popular ancient Egyptian and quirky suspense storytelling shows, Kevin brings a new show dishing up his love of horror sprinkled with a little bit of surprise and dark twisted humour.

Come all lovers of horror and the macabre! Welcome to this auction, whether you are here to bid on the lots, or just here to enjoy the misery of others. We have items of interest recovered from horrifying events each presented along with their startling provenance.

“The way I sit in this body and mind. Yeah that confuses me”

 Set in that nostalgic, primary school classroom we all remember, misSfits takes us through the alumni of Miss Elliot’s class and those that have experienced the feelings of being a ‘baby gay’. All whilst Miss Elliot starts to reflect on her own personal choices in life. Using verbatim and real voices of the queer community (along with some fun audience classroom activities) misSfits was originally developed for A Pinch of Vault’s festival in 2024 and it received rave reviews and response.

 Established in 2018 in Bristol, Bullet Theatre has performed shows in Bristol, London and Edinburgh. Since 2021 they have been in collaboration with Helen’s own company hileyproductive that has created award-winning original, theatre and film productions. As a non-binary creative from the North of England, Helen always strives to create regional stories about the extraordinary everyday. 

 misSfits transports you to that familiar primary school classroom, celebrating the individuals who begin their journey of self-discovery. 

 So grab a seat, a pen and your lunchbox before the school bell rings!
