About Mohit Mathur
Dial 1 for UK is a solo theatre debut by Mohit Mathur, performed at Pickle Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show follows Uday Kumar, who works nightly at the Goldmine Crypto GB Helpline in New Delhi while building a YouTube channel around his dream of British life. Determined to make that dream real, he boards his first-ever flight to England — and what follows is a sharp, heartfelt story of high hopes humbled in Hounslow. The piece explores the harsh realities faced by undocumented migrant workers and asks what happens to the dreamers who simply disappear. Running for 50 minutes, the show is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A timely, intimate one-man debut that tells its story with both sharpness and real warmth. Mohit Mathur takes Uday from New Delhi to Hounslow and makes you feel every step of the journey.
