As seen at the Edinburgh Fringe drawing from experiences of working in mental health, prepare for a night of humour and heart in Your Therapist Is Clueless. Weaving together hilarious anecdotes, poignant stories, and unexpected moments of insight from the everyday absurdities to the profound connections formed with clients and colleagues, this show offers a unique perspective on the highs and lows of working in a mental health drop in service. Prepare to laugh, reflect, and maybe even shed a tear as we navigate through the world of mental health with wit, warmth, and an unwavering sense of humanity.
“Pure, unadulterated fun.”

Time of the Month (A Period Period Piece)

TIME OF THE MONTH (A PERIOD PERIOD PIECE) is a new dramatic comedy about two sisters who time travel on their periods.
A first period can feel like a bloody nightmare. However, sixteen-year-old Pet couldn’t be more excited to finally get her period until her older sister, Margo, informs her of a surprising family secret: when it’s their time of the month...they travel through time. The only way to return back to the present? By dying in the past (which is easy since they’ll be killed the second they say anything remotely feminist or slightly scientific). As Pet and Margo flow through time, bickering everywhere from Ancient Greece to 1950s suburbia, they not only learn from the errors of the past, but navigate their way through the exciting, frightening experience of womanhood.

Standup Comedian Matt Price spent 18 months training to win a trophy to honour the memory of his Grandad – Raging Bill Price - after he found some boxing trophies in his Grandad’s attic. As Kate Copstick from the Scotsman said of the show when she reviewed it at the Edinburgh Festival, “It is a story-telling, grandad-loving, face-punching, gangster-reminiscing, nursery-rhyme-singing, tear in yer eye, laugh out loud joy of an hour…”
She also described Matt’s interaction with the crowd as “beyond impressive.”
The show isn’t actually about boxing, there is a lot more to it than that. But you will definitely want to know what happens next. Most amateur fighters have their first fight within a few months. It took Matt 18 months before he was “ready.” So how and why does a painfully shy 21 year old go to a boxing gym and spend so long pursuing a sport he has zero talent for? Why does he hate Humpty Dumpty but love karaoke?
When you look at the screenshot from his fight, you might also be wondering. Which one is Matt? (It’s okay. Everyone asks that!)
This is a very funny show about getting back up when life has hit you hard. Years later and having been through some ups and downs, Matt learns something about himself that you’ll not forget! But you will love it.
