Oh yes! You heard it right! Thou Shalt Sit The F*** Down is back again baby! Coming to the @kingsheadtheatre for one night on 8th November - she's fresh, she's spicy, she's sharpened up!

Will is not just a professional. He is THE professional. Booked every weekend. Rarely fazed by anything. Special requests? Piece of cake. And he stays primed and raring to go by religiously following his “10 commandments”.

But when his boss makes him train up a gorgeous twinky newbie, the rulebook gets thrown out the window, and Will finds his firm routine isn’t as rock solid as he thought...

Loosely based on real experiences, ‘Thou Shalt Sit The F*** Down’ is a filthy, queer comedy featuring Australian daddies, pretentious kids, and, of course, bubbles (because everyone loves bubbles).

Get ready to be catapulted into the awkward, outrageous, and outright ridiculous world of children’s entertainment in this sharp queer one-person show that pulls no punches.

Book now! You won't want to miss this one - it's going to be ICONIC! taken in King's Head Theatre by @ryandirects

Introducing our new poster for NAMASTE!, coming to @goldengoosetheatre 16/17th October, as part of the @lambethfringe

When a young influencer is tasked with saving a once top London yoga studio, she must win over staff, teachers and clients with her wacky ideas, despite knowing nothing about yoga.

Since moving to the UK last summer, I've been fortunate to direct two shows at @fourthmonkey, a BA (Hons) Acting school in Finsbury Park:

Mr Burns: A Post-Electric Play by Anne Washburn
and A Comedy of Errors by W. Shakespeare

Great students in a fun facility 👍🏾
