Zoë Clayton-KellyProfessional company

60 minutesJust the Fancy Room
One classically trained clown, a keyboard and an endlessly unfurling spool of string. Singer-songwriter Zoë spirals her way through a cabaret of songs as catchy as they are surreal: Existential Thoughts of a Freelancer, Floating Naked in a Magnesium Salt Bath With Your Mum and the overthinking junkies' all-time favourite, All Aboard the Spiral Train. Expect sporadic flashes of experimental dance, wisdom and pigeons. Oh, and the end notes of songs being held way too long.
