Overview

Stupid comedy about intelligent beings.

An hour of mostly stand-up, some music and frankly inadvisable home-made costumes, stitched around eight things Louise Leigh has learned about her favourite animal.

Each fact leads somewhere unexpected: the naming of worms, romantasy, a crush on a truck... Somehow, it keeps coming back to one thing: being fully human.

“Silly and ribald...this is a show that sends its audience away uplifted, fortified and invigorated.” ★★★★One4Review

Audiences say:

“I’ve rarely been so thoroughly entertained by a show while also leaving with so much to think about.”

“Glorious, hilarious. Best comedy show we saw at the fringe. Fellow men, come here and learn…”

“Absolutely brilliant! Everyone in our group had such a great time. I'd definitely recommend taking your boyfriend, son, dad, brother or any men in your life.”

About Louise
A wordsmith trapped in the body of an idiot, Louise is a “naturally funny woman,” (Chortle ★★★★) with off-kilter punchlines and memorable physical comedy. The vibe: hanging out with your mum’s bisexual cousin at a family party. Yes, she might steal a cigarette, but she’ll pay for it in insights that you didn’t know you needed.
