REVIEW EXTRACTS 'It’s a real cracker… This is a show that makes you yearn to get off the hamster wheel and make a bid for freedom.' The Guardian (The Receipt)
'A superb, almost Gogol-like meditation on the fate of the little man in the big 21st-century city.' The Scotsman (The Receipt)
'Simply the best, funniest, cleverest miracle of make-believe.' The Scotsman (Jackson’s Way)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS The Receipt A collaboration between Will Adamsdale and Chris Branch. A man flips out and searches the city for the owner of a receipt. Is he a hero, or an idiot, or a hero-idiot? An urban detective story told by two men, a filing cabinet and a Moog. (75 mins, 3 on the road)
Jackson’s Way Winner of the Perrier Award for Comedy, 2004. Life coach Chris John Jackson takes his audience through an hour of motivational tips and tricks. (90 mins, 2 on the road)
FUTURE PRODUCTION Human Computer I started using a computer recently and it affected my thinking. I want to click on things when I walk down the street. I haven’t really turned into a computer. But I’d like to try. So I’ll know how to take them down when they rule the world.
RECENT INTERNATIONAL WORK 2006 Australia, USA (Jackson’s Way)
