Should you know about your dad's seduction techniques? In 2025 Milo Edwards found a box of old letters in the back of his late Mother's wardrobe. Catamaran is a show about his parents and the letters they wrote and the 1980s, in which Milo asks what remains of a human life, what's torn out, what happens if that life was surprisingly horny... and whatever happened to Jim Lock's catamaran? ‘A formidable stand-up force’ (Comedy.co.uk). ‘One of the UK’s smartest, most vital stand-ups’ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Near perfect' ***** (TheWeeReview.com). 'Must surely go onwards and upwards' **** (Telegraph).

About the show

Milo Edwards: Catamaran is a stand-up show presented by Ingenious Fools Ltd. In 2025, Milo Edwards found a box of old letters in the back of his late mother's wardrobe. The show is built around his parents, the letters they wrote, and the nineteen-eighties, and asks what remains of a human life — what is kept, what is lost, and whatever happened to Jim Lock's catamaran. The show runs for 60 minutes at CabVol 1 and is for adults aged 18 and over. It contains strong language.

Why see this show?

A stand-up show with genuine emotional weight — found letters, a lost parent, and the strange personal debris of the nineteen-eighties. Edwards treats the material with intelligence and humour rather than sentimentality.
