Seven Years in the Bathroom - T74497232This is quite an ambitious comedy show; I’m going to try to recreate your entire life in one hour. That’s right, I’ll do everything you’ll ever do, but in sixty minutes. So in an average lifetime you’ll spend two years shopping, two weeks kissing and eighteen months looking for lost things. You’ll also spend quite a while eating, queuing, crying and googling yourself. I’m going to proportionally squeeze all those things into the show and onto the stage and it’ll be tremendous. And very funny. | |
