When Liam was 18 he moved from Dagenham to Edinburgh, and didn’t tell his parents. 
Liam returns to Soho Theatre with a story about leaving home, coming to terms with who your parents are and what to do when a personal trainer slides into your DM’s.

Liam has over 10million TikTok/Instagram views and his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe show ‘Chronic Boom’ was a sellout success and received widespread critical acclaim, racking up sixteen 4 and 5 star reviews, making it one of the best reviewed comedy shows of 2023.

“[A] gorgeously funny, richly resonant coming-of-age story...  I shed the odd tear, absolutely. I also laughed and laughed”  ★★★★ Times
