The show is 60 minutes, for ages 18 and over, and tickets are £12. A fog machine is used during the show.
Why see this show?
A burlesque and sci-fi comedy that uses the alien-on-Earth premise to take genuinely sharp aim at modern dating. Sexy, absurd and self-aware, it is a 60-minute show that does not take itself seriously, but has a clear comic idea at its centre.
