Confessions of a Super Snooper

Pam’s already got a low opinion of her neighbours. So when someone pinches her Elizabethan sideboard, it’s all-out war: she becomes a one-woman MI6, ramping up her operation from curtain twitching to spy cameras hidden in hand-knitted novelties. But what Pam unearths is what she already suspects – that everyone around her is a thief, a pervert or a terrorist…

Event Date: 
17/05/2016 - 7:30pm to 21/05/2016 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

Mr C sits inside your head and watches.

He sees all you see, knows all you know, hears all you hear and sometimes, if you are very unlucky, he tells you what he thinks of it all.

Gary Kitching is an improviser, actor and comedian and Me and Mr. C is his funny and disturbing rendering of what it is like to have a voice in your head that explains to you with authority, purpose and well referenced arguments, that you are a worthless piece of shit. An experience some of you may be able to sympathise with.

Tickets: £12 (£10). 2 for 1 on Tuesdays. Members rate: £10 (£8...
