When a lonely man’s poo becomes sentient and begs not to be flushed, Patrick is dragged into an absurd odyssey through Brighton. As the pair flee Thames Water, encounter drag bars, fortune tellers and a sinister scientist, Patrick is forced to confront his own repression, loneliness and emotional constipation. Ridiculous, heartfelt and gloriously unhinged, Don’t Flush Me Yet is a surreal new comedy about friendship, freedom and what happens when a lifetime of blockage finally gives way.
