If you like performances that take risks, practice honesty, embrace the present moment, and span the entirety of human experience then this is the show for you


A performer walks on stage without planning what comes next, they notice something and begin to play, a thought / feeling / gesture expands into the space, becoming what it needs to be right now, this is fooling. Unscripted, open and present, each fooling performance happens once and once only: this show will never happen again.

Step into the unknown with us, you’re in safe hands.

The players tonight will be: Riss Obolensky Puck’s mucky cousin hawking tickets for a sideshow that will change your life; Zoë Rapley a tortured stoic haunted by their own ghost, and Ed Rapley a lump of chalk and grease, fashioned into the shape of a man.

Naomi Smyth a rapacious enquirer seeking novelty and honesty, an ethereal being with muddy boots; China Fish anarchist valkyrie exalting you, with lullaby and spear, to help make the world a more interesting place; and Ed Rapley saved from a life of fame that would have killed him by an absence of talent and abundance of laziness.

Previous players have included Lucy Hopkins, Aisha Ali, Jenny Davies, and Alistair Aitcheson, China Fish and Naomi Smyth.

We have literally no idea what will happen, so buy a ticket and find out with us!
