Recently, Ive been thinking of a thing.Its a collection of stories about some stuff that happen. Stuff that plays on my mind.Exciting huh.In a nutshell, my Dad scattered my mums ashes without me.I'm an only child.So... yeah. That happened.Anyway... I started thinking Id maybe turn them into a funny film or a play or something, like I normally do. For other people to read and perform. But recently Ive realised that these are my stories to tell.So... please come join me as I bumble through them on stage, laugh a lot, cry a bit , laugh some more and " hopefully " make you do the same. Life affirming comedy from the award winning writer and creator of BBC Threes WHITE VAN MAN, returning to the stage for the first time in over a decade.Adrian is also known for his award winning play 'A Very Naughty Boy' about the working relationship of Monty Pythons Graham Chapman and John Cleese which sold out every night at the Edinburgh fringe and toured the UK before a month long run at Londons Soho Theatre to huge critical acclaim. He has also written for Sky Ones 'Trollied' and scripts for Big Finishs Doctor Who range staring Tom Baker and David TennantAs a stand up Adrian has performed all over the world with both his acclaimed solo shows and tour supporting some of the UKs most famous faces. Having stepped away from stand up to focus on his hugely successful screenwriting career, 2024 sees Adrian return to the stage with his most honest, personal, hilarious and heartbreaking of shows.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
