PORNO started out as 50 minute version with a month long, sold out run at the Pleasance as part of the Edinburgh Fringe ’22.

The two hour full length version went on to have a sold out run at the King’s in September ’23, before going on to the Liverpool Olympia, the Crewe Lyceum, the Manchester Waterside and then a 7 week sold out run at the Art’s Theatre in London’s West End, where it was nominated as best new play in the What’s On Stage Awards.
