Dookin' Out
4th - 8th March 1pm
From her Easterhouse cooncil flat, terminally ill Diane dreams of a peaceful end in the hills of snowy Switzerland, but her state pension just won’t cover it.
She manages to pull on the heartstrings of her sweet carer Julie who, scorned by her cheating husband, hatches a plan to both feel sexy again and help Diane with her dying wish – by becoming a dominatrix! With the help of a young postie who gets them set up on OnlyFans, their kinky enterprise begins…but life, death and chaos stand in the way of ‘sex-cess’.
Dookin’ Out is a riotous black comedy about a wild money-making scheme in an Easterhouse cooncil flat and going out wi’ a bang!
Hell
11th - 15th March
Jonny has died and is greeted at the gates of hell by his spiritual guide… who looks, and acts, exactly like his long-suffering comedy partner Paddy.
As Paddy guides him through the nine layers of Hell, Jonny can’t help but wonder if this really is the afterlife. Is he actually dead? Is he in a coma somewhere? And why is this so eerily accurate to Dante’s Inferno when he’s only read the Cliffs notes?
A new meta musical-comedy written and performed by acclaimed duo Jonny & The Baptists, HELL is about a tired man who would rather not deal with any of his problems, but if he must, then at least he gets to do it with his best friend.
Eilidh Eilidh Eilidh
18th - 22nd March
When cousins Eilidh and Eilidh Bheag drunkenly stumble out of a Skye pub, they are met with absolute quiet.
No passing cars to take them home, no parties to crash, no place to call their own… just empty ‘homes’.
They decide enough is enough and break into one of the houses to stage a protest. In the morning, as the cousins sober up and work out what on earth they’ve done, they hear a pair of footsteps on the stairs and realise they’ve got it all wrong.
Eilidh, Eilidh, Eilidh is a new topical comedy highlighting the rural housing crisis and its impact on island communities.
Wasps
25th - 29th March
“Wasps? Twats.”
Rianne is your typical 16-year-old girl, aside from an obsessive phobia of wasps, trying to survive the hellhole that is high school.
As she struggles in bottom-set maths and getting the other grades she needs, some heartbreaking news sends Rianne’s life spiralling out of control in ways she could never have imagined.
Wasps is a bitter-sweet coming-of-age monologue exploring grief, fear, and the life cycle of a wasp.
