BIGHEAD ComedyProfessional company

60 minutesDownstairs
The gorgeously gross new piece from Rosa Garland, the creator of Trash Salad, one of The Telegraph's Funniest Shows of the Fringe. Join Rosa on a slimy trek into the recesses of our erotic imaginations, celebrating pleasure in its ugliest forms, and the hard work of accessing desire. Like Jackass if Johnny Knoxville was Gwyneth Paltrow, this new comedy experiment will stop at nothing to investigate the mucky mind-corners we prefer to ignore. Come into the bog; the mud's just fine. 'A force of nature' (TheWeeReview.com). 'A knock out... riotously funny' (BingeFringe.com).

About BIGHEAD Comedy

Rosa Garland: Primal Bog is a new comedy experiment by BIGHEAD Comedy, performed at Downstairs. Created by Rosa Garland — also the creator of Trash Salad — the show is a slimy trek into the recesses of erotic imagination, celebrating pleasure in its ugliest forms and the hard work of accessing desire. Part clown, part investigation of the mucky mind-corners we prefer to ignore. Suitable for adults aged 18 and over only, it runs for 60 minutes and carries warnings for nudity, scenes of a sexual nature and potentially distressing or triggering themes.

Why see this show?

Gleefully strange and committed to going somewhere most comedy won't — Primal Bog is a show that takes its premise seriously and follows it into uncomfortable, genuinely funny territory. Not for the squeamish, but rewarding for those who lean in.
