Katie Mitchell: Giddy
Ingenious Fools Ltd • Professional company
About the show
Ingenious Fools Ltd presents Katie Mitchell in Giddy, an ambitious return to character comedy in which Mitchell — self-styled World's Greatest Sportsman — explores growing up an orphan on a council estate in the Los Angeles suburb of Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Under the earth where the coal used to be, there are scams brewin'. It is a place of monsters, darkness and sports. The show promises absolute silliness and claims to be both her most autobiographical and her silliest work yet. Running 60 minutes at Nicolson Square Venues, suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Katie Mitchell calls this her silliest and most autobiographical show yet — character comedy rooted in the coal-country landscapes of Derbyshire, told by the self-styled World's Greatest Sportsman. Endearingly daft and surprisingly personal.
