But right now, he's busy: his son is being born and he's desperate for a piss. An epic story about fatherhood, finance, fossil fuels and facing the future. Back after several sold-out Soho Theatre runs in 2026. 'Gently funny, deeply human and profoundly poignant' **** (Scotsman). ***** (ThreeWeeks). 'Comedy theatre that hits big laughs' (British Comedy Guide Recommended 2025). As heard on Strong Message Here (BBC Radio 4). Directed by Ben Target.
