Lachlan Werner: Sleeper Hit (WIP)

This is not a show. Is it a live hypnotherapy session? Is it a coven gathering? Is it a series of just upsetting events?

Lachlan Werner is the UK's favourite "zeitgeisty" ventriloquist, (★★★★ Guardian) clown and live artist. But he is also quite a lot of people in one brain. Over 26 years, a lot of people seem to have got lodged, jammed inside Lachlan.

Brew is a small squishy witch, and his best friend, and she believes she can extract, suck out and expell all of the other people living inside Lachlan to find out who he really is.

Lachlan will use genuine witchcraft to mine his no-longer developing brain for a new hour full of stupidly clever and cleverly stupid horrid ideas. Expect rotten characters, queerings of ancient traditions and literal skeletons in closets from "the funniest new ventriloquist on the block" (★★★★ Telegraph)

"The definitive queer puppet show" ★★★★★ LostInTheatreland

"A new star. Unimaginable hellish power" ★★★★ Chortle

(★★★★ Guardian)

Matt R reviewed Patrick Spicer: Who's This all of a Sudden (Work in Progress) which happened on 7:30pm on Sat 18th Jun 2022.

Amusing and dealt with the occasional audience interruption. A good show overall

Matt R reviewed Mad Ron: Crime School which happened on 8:45pm on Sat 18th Jun 2022.

Entertaining, but not rib-tickling. He wasn't always convincing in being the character he was playing.
