The award-winning debut stand-up show written and performed by Iain Anderson. A fast-paced, brutally honest and riotously funny account of his life so far. From the gay scene in Glasgow to rock bottom in Barcelona, this is a celebration of resilience and the saving power of laughter. It’s not a sob story, it’s a reminder that even the messiest lives can still be fabulous. Come laugh, cry, feel uplifted and leave feeling more connected to those around you. An experience not to be missed that's unlike anything else in comedy today!
