Currently Nominated for Two Fringe Theatre Awards (Best Solo Performance & Best Writing)
‘Yes, he's in a Celebrations tub. No, he's not in with the Bounties.’
This five-star show is a darkly funny road trip about grief, guilt, and a stolen tub of ashes - because healing doesn’t always go to plan.
Aaron, an out-of-work entertainer, has nicked his Dad's ashes and hidden them in a tub of chocolates. Now he’s on his way to Cornwall with no money, a half-baked plan and the police in hot pursuit. Catch him while you can!
Written and performed by Oscar Brudenall-Jones and directed by Esalan Gates (BroadwayWorld UK Nominee – Best New Production), this dark comedy explores grief in a post-pandemic world, as well as sperm bank strikes and why you shouldn't lose your rag at an old person.
Produced by To The Tooth Theatre, this is comedy with a bite.★★★★★
‘A triumph from start to finish … the play is a total delight, and I urge everyone – whether they have lost a loved one or not – to go to laugh, cry and experience this play.’ - London Pub Theatres★★★★★
'The writing is superb […] The performance is perfect.’ - My View From the Stalls★★★★
‘What made me love it is the bravery of writing so honestly about grief, and specifically grief caused by COVID-19 … funny, honest, and moving.’ - All That Dazzles
RUNNING TIME: 60 minutes AGE SUITABILITY: ​15+
The Maybe I Should Stop UK tour has been awarded funding from Arts Council England, supported by the National Lottery
