Caroline Mabey : Hair of the Dog

GET TICKETS HERE

Caroline Mabey’s husband/ boyfriend/ partner (whatever!) just quit his accounting job to train as a dog groomer. Time for a life audit. A joyously deft cautionary tale about the dangers of following your (or someone else’s) dreams, from one of the silliest people I know.

As heard on the Self Renovators podcast and Josh Howie's Losing It on BBC Radio 4. Writer on The News Quiz.

‘Hilarious... Funny and touching and brilliant’ (Guardian)

‘Oddball genius’ (Chortle)

‘Mabey is thoroughly enjoyable company…the slightly deranged offspring of a ménage-a-trois between Vic Reeves, Harry Hill and Floella Benjamin.’ (Evening Standard)

‘No-one has made us laugh as much at this Fringe’ (The Skinny)

AGE GUIDELINE: 14+
