Rick Glassman: Me and My Puppet Rick is a stand-up show at CabVol 1 that explores social dynamics — specifically when it is worth showing up authentically versus when it is best to mask and drain your battery to be more palatable for others. Whether atypical or neurotypical, if you have said 'just joking' as an insurance policy, felt the need to hide honest versions of yourself, or been scared to go in for a first kiss, Glassman positions this 60-minute show as a TED Talk of the pros and cons of daily social decisions. Suitable for ages 18 and above, tickets are £15.
