Directed by Dermot Daly, the show was a huge hit during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2023 and subsequently opened in London to rave reviews.

Blissfully, joyously fun
Queeley-Dennis captures the unpredictable rhythms of the cycle of life
Outstanding
A beautiful snapshot of life as a young adult in today's climate
Charming, witty and quietly poignant
There's a thoughtful subtext about the spaces where young Black men are permitted
There are laughs aplenty
