The Dip – theSpace @ Surgeons Hall

The guitar, drum and bass playing as we enter bodes well. Officer Flatfish and the Baba Ganoush Gestapo will make you question your sanity for the next hour.Fuelled by alcohol, Al dares to confront his feelings for mate Nic and his daring to depart from the norm leads him into madness. I am not usually a fan of this absurd type of comedy which colludes with the audience, but this high-energy lunacy won me over.They even got me up to dance at the wedding. Unheard of!

All performers offer more than expected: musicians are key performers, not just accompaniment. Only Al stays himself as the fancy flies higher and weirder.

Its another sexual awakening show but this one revels in it. Be brave enough to share their world. You may keep more of it than you expect.
