This is a show about eyes when they are open and eyes when they are shut. With this show I wanted to explore what I could do to myself and others with language when eyes are open and shut. After writing ten shows on specific themes, I wanted to think about what makes me open my eyes and what makes me shut them. 'A genuine original' (Guardian). 'The mother freaking greatest' (James Acaster). 'Very hilarious' (David Shrigley). 'A genius' (Bridget Christie). 'Makes laughter out of wonder. We need him' (Scotsman).
