Frankie Thompson collects horrible things. Things from down the back of the sofa and floating in her soup, things from the bins of people in power. From x-raying your mum's daydreams and interviewing the walls of your dad's shed (you don't want to know), to things your uncle uploaded on YouTube in 2008 (you really don't want to know). Find out if something horrible you've done is included, and come to the formal presentation of all horrible things thus far. If you laugh it's comedy, if you don't it's performance art. 'Wonderfully, confoundingly funny' **** (Guardian).
