Britain's What's On Event Guide
Maybe I Should Stop: UK Tour
‘Yes, he’s in a Celebrations tub. No, he’s not in with the bounties.’
This five-star show is a darkly funny road trip about grief, guilt, and a stolen tub of ashes – because healing doesn’t always go to plan.
Aaron, an out-of-work entertainer, has nicked his dad’s ashes and hidden them in a tub of chocolates. Now he’s on his way to Cornwall with no money, a half-baked plan and the police in hot pursuit. Catch him while you can!
Written and performed by Oscar Brudenall-Jones and directed by Esalan Gates (BroadwayWorld UK Nominee – Best New Production), this dark comedy explores grief in a post-pandemic world, as well as sperm bank strikes and why you shouldn’t lose your rag at an old person. A sharply comic solo show about how grief warps us, and how, sometimes, the worst ideas feel like the only ones left.
In collaboration with Winston's Wish charity, produced by To The Tooth Theatre, this is comedy with a bite.
Currently Nominated for Two Fringe Theatre Awards (Best Solo Performance & Best Writing).
FIVE STARS - ’The writing is superb … The performance is perfect.’ – My View From the Stalls
FIVE STARS - ‘A triumph from start to finish […] the play is a total delight, and I urge everyone – whether they have lost a loved one or not – to go to laugh, cry and experience this play.’ – London Pub Theatres
FOUR STARS - ‘What made me love it is the bravery of writing so honestly about grief, and specifically grief caused by COVID-19 […] funny, honest, and moving.’ – All That Dazzles
The Maybe I Should Stop UK tour has been awarded funding from Arts Council England, supported by the National Lottery.
