60 minutesThe Snug
Loz Dodd believes he’s made something monumental in this playful, meta show exploring the strangeness of life and our inadequate attempts to grasp it. The show delights in losing its own thread, derailed by distractions, tangents and spontaneous song, whilst Loz perseveres, convinced he's on the cusp of a profound insight. Blending the unpredictability of performance art with the openness of contemporary clowning, This Can’t Be It is a feverish, experimental meander through the chaos of never quite knowing what it all means, but cracking on with it regardless… 'A rare natural talent' (TheatreAndArtReview.com).

About Loz Dodd

The show delights in losing its own thread, derailed by distractions, tangents and spontaneous song, whilst Dodd perseveres, convinced he is on the cusp of a profound insight.

Suitable for ages 12 and over.

Why see this show?

A clown who is genuinely convinced he is about to say something profound, even as the show keeps escaping him — the gap between ambition and reality is where the comedy lives. Warm, strange and surprisingly affecting at just £2.50.
