About Lucas Kad
Pimm's Without the Cucumber is a one-man comedy show from Lucas Kad at The Vault, exploring masculinity from a gay perspective. Jordan, and his much smarter 'professor' alter ego, has just broken up with his first boyfriend and dreams of entering his healing era. From nights out to hook-ups to joining a football team, the show tells the familiar story of the lasting effect someone can have — highlighting every queer boy's experience of unexpected relationships and learning to accept who they are. Runs 60 minutes, age guidance 16+, priced from £8.
Why see this show?
A funny, honest one-man show about queer masculinity, breakups and belonging. Warm, relatable and told with a dual persona that keeps things sharp — a confident debut for an emerging voice.
