Two Plotkins. Two works in progress. Two Brighton Fringe favourites. One Hour. All Brand new material. Fanny Dent (Leicester Comedy Festival nominee 2024) and Simon Plotkin (Do The Thing) team up for a split bill of fresh, work-in-progress comedy. Expect bold new characters, ideas, jokes and beautifully controlled chaos.
Fanny Dent is known for her comedy and character cabaret: Playful, theatrical and gloriously unpredictable, her previous show, 'The Burlesque Imposter' (★★★★) sold out fringe runs across the country. Her new material continues in that spirit. Simon Plotkin is a familiar face on the Brighton comedy scene. He is one third of the improvised musical hit 'Do The Thing', which enjoyed a sell-out run at Brighton Fringe last year.
Simon will be testing new ideas and test-driving new material. What will they come up with? It'll be loose, lively and full surprises!

Be prepared to be moved by the beat, embrace pumping bodies and welcome that baseline in with this highly personal yet universal play.

Bex’s stories are unhinged, unfiltered and bloody hilarious. - says Phil Hartnoll, Orbital
