Only A Fool... is a show based on Gogol's The Government Inspector.
The actors explored ideas around what makes us do foolish things and the sometimes the very thin line that can divide comedy and tragedy in human nature.
The show is fun, fast paced and uses episodic action and multi rolling to explore the use of the clown and character work within storytelling.

The arrival of his whirlwind of a niece, PeeWee – who’s been left to her own devices yet again by her globe-trotting parents – is disruptive enough, but when she loses a bracelet belonging to his late wife Lily, the pair must venture to the mysterious Land of Lost to retrieve it.

FAT! That's what I'm making a show about. My fat. Your fat, maybe. Fat. I've been fat for a long time now, and I thought I was fat, even when I wasn't, and as such, I've been thinking about fat for even longer. So I made a show about it. Our bodies and egos are fragile, our ways of talking about them inadequate, so I can understand that you might not be up for talking about fat for an hour. So I'll make you some promises:
- I promise to tell the truth. - I promise to make it funny. - I promise you won't get any mess on your nice clothes.
