친구도 없고, 연애도 못하고, 엄마에게 얹혀 살고 있는 인생 뭐 하나 마음대로 되는게 없는 ‘케이트’(에밀리아 클라크). 가수를 꿈꾸지만 매번 오디션에서 떨어지고, 마지못해 별볼일 없는 크리스마스 장식용품 가게에서 일하고 있다. 매일 반복되는 일상이 지나고 크리스마스가 다가오던 어느 날, 노숙자 센터에서 자원 봉사를 하는 ‘탐’(헨리 골딩)을 우연히 만나게 된다. 핸드폰도 없고 자신에게 데이트 신청도 안하지만 언제 어디서든 나타나는, 다른 남자들과 다른 탐의 매력에 점점 끌리게 되는데…

One of the Edinburgh Fringe’s most celebrated talents of recent times sets out on his first full national tour. John-Luke Roberts’ show this year was a complete sell-out run and one of the most talked-about shows of the festival: a dizzying avant-garde ride through the mind of a gifted comic-philosopher. One with a blue moustache. Who thinks far more about the Spice Girls than anyone should. A masterclass in prop, clown, costume and Mel C-themed comedy. And that’s all we can tell you on the website, because his stupid title takes up the rest of the allotted space.

After getting dumped for the 11th time in a row, Frankie discovers that she has a "loser in love" gene, which predisposes her to chronic failure and rejection for the rest of her life. She decides to embark on a quest to change her romantic future.

A dinner party kicks off with the last guest to arrive, the oddly named Asparagus Tips. Upon introducing herself, we soon gather that her name comes from her asparagus hands. After the starter doesn’t go according to plan, she steps up to the plate, literally, and offers her tips for the party. A delicious delight that everyone wants more of, mostly at the disadvantage of poor Asparagus Tips.

The cult-favourite alternative comic humbly invites you to his brand-new, absolutely brilliant hour of extraordinary-absurdist-character-comedy-nonsense-sort-of-stand-up and hubris.
