A new comedy first performed at Camden Fringe 2021 at Hen and Chickens Theatre, 2nd-4th August.

Joe went a little bit mad during lockdown – just like you did – and it’s hilariously cathartic to watch. This smash-hit Camden Fringe show is inspired by the writer’s ridiculous lockdown diaries – and it’s the best way to laugh away the trauma of the past 18 months.

Joe’s stuck in a tiny flat trying to make sense of the pandemic. One day, whilst watching a government briefing on TV, he decides to answer back. This sets off a surreal conversation with... Boris? Or maybe it’s his friend on Facebook? Or... maybe it’s his fridge. All Joe knows is, he definitely doesn’t know.

Brought to you by writer-director team Mark Daniels and Edwina Strobl, this Offie-nominated and winner of Shakespeare In Italy’s 2021 playwriting competition, this dark satirical comedy offers a unique take on the British response to the pandemic. The play’s two actors (rising stars Kathryn Haywood and Edward Bartram) take you on a high-energy satirical journey from panic buying to Jackie Weaver via Matt Hancock, with an unhealthy dose of British gusto thrown in. It’s a relatable purging of the strange times we’ve been living through. It’s absurd laugh-out-loud comedy at its best and it’s definitely not one to be missed!
