Dr Adam Perchard (cabaret star, comedian, poet, and occasional fortune-teller to the international elite) is an old vamp with one hell of a backstory – and Richard Thomas (Oliver Award-winning composer of Jerry Springer the Opera) is here to get the scoop! Featuring dazzling original music, vocal fireworks, and rampant repartee, sit back and let this iconic duo take you on a whirlwind tour of the doctor’s brain.
By turns joyful, dark, and extremely silly, the interview covers everything from hyper-realistic cakes to how to negotiate a nervous breakdown in Darlington, from giant bugs to finding love at an orgy – and it reveals what’s really going through your university lecturer’s brain when they’re teaching you Romantic poetry. With an Olivier Award-winning composer asking the questions and an international singing star giving the answers, this is an interview like you’ve never seen – or heard.

Great British Mysteries: MAN MOUNTAIN
Olive and Teddy are back. And this time, it’s vertical.
It’s 1985, and past-it explorer Teddy Tyrell has blindly pledged to both find, then conquer, a mountain bigger than Everest. Even with his ever-doting assistant, Olive Bacon, by his side, surely this is one boast too far. Or is it? Is there really anything bigger than Everest? Will their crampons give them cramp? And is it actually possible for two performers to look like they’re climbing a mountain while only two feet off the ground?
BAD ALTITUDE is a stupid 1980s action film adventure that pulls at the excesses of the decade and rubs them in your face. You say “rip off”, we say, “lovingly referenced”.
With sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe under their thermal belts, Great British Mysteries are thrilled to be back at the Soho Theatre with this extremely tall tale.

The Amazing Banana Brothers By Bill O’Neill & His Brother
Two daredevil brothers attempt the impossible – slipping on 1000 banana peels.
NOMINEE: Edinburgh Comedy Award 2023 Best Newcomer
You either die an artist or you live long enough to see yourself become a stuntman. In his Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated UK debut, Bill O'Neill uses every trick up his sleeve to explore the oldest one in the book.
Directed by the Edinburgh Comedy Award-winning Natalie Palamides (Nate, Laid), Bill O’Neill’s hugely acclaimed and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show is back at Soho Theatre with a run in our Main House. This hilarious debut follows two daredevil brothers attempting the impossible — slipping on 1000 banana peels. Through a surreal exploration of loss, failure, masculinity and death-defying pratfalls, O’Neill challenges the limits of the human body and spirit – one banana peel at a time.

Your favourite pair of co-dependent Australian dickheads are hitting London, doing what they do best – filling slots. Part of London Clown Festival 2024.

With songs including I Don’t Wanna Have A Baby and Fanta of the Opera.
Prepare to have your slot filled with 58 minutes of clowntastic, musical nonsense, delivered with big chaos energy. The only show that guarantees to NOT make you pregnant, or your money back.
