Autobiographical theatre meets playful chaos in a heartwarming, hilariously nonchalant ride led by two best friends who just want to feel cool.
Award-winning duo Paul and Laura are back! Following the Brighton Fringe Audience Choice Award win for My Heart is a Spark, they return with a joy-filled, tongue-in-cheek romp through the perils of trying too hard to be liked. But don’t worry - if you’re meeting them for the first time, all us people pleasers have asked the same question at some point:
What would you do if you stopped caring what others think?
Expect autobiographical theatre, music, some structured learning about sexiness and edginess, and two inner 12-year-olds embracing carefree nonchalance. Inviting “surprise and delight” and “beautifully poignant moments,” this sell-out show, now nominated for the OffFest Theatre Festival Awards, will bring laughter, fun and the inspiration to embrace who you truly are.
What Audiences Said...
“A brilliantly refreshing, and laugh out loud funny show. Thank you for reminding me that really good things do still exist”
“So clever and lovely it’s been reverberating with me ever since, I feel like every slightly uncool teenager should watch it!!”
“Paul and Laura should be available on prescription”
“Uplifting, hilarious and heartwarming”
"...face-aching laughter, surprise and delight... vulnerability and kindness, and a tear in my eye at the end. This show made me fall in love with Paul and Laura."
"People pleasers of the world unite! If that’s alright with everyone else. This is really the funniest and most touching, heart-warming, joyful, life affirming and inspiring show"
