Now, after another sell-out Fringe in 2025, Harry is ready to shed his shell again. Because that’s what Lobster is all about — change.

Over the past few years, Harry and his family have had to change shells more than once. From moving to a “up-and-coming” postcode, to travelling the world, falling in love, becoming housemates with his own dad, and navigating puberty in 2025, Lobster dives into life’s inevitable transformations with honesty, heart, and relentless laughs. Already earning a 4½-star review and called “British comedy at its best” (One4Review ★★★★½), Lobster is packed with the sharp observational storytelling, likeability, and non-stop jokes that have made Harry a favourite of audiences across the UK and beyond. A regular at The Comedy Store and top clubs nationwide, Harry has also taken his comedy global, headlining The Laughter Factory in Dubai and The Comedy Lounge in Perth, and touring the Adelaide, Melbourne, and Brisbane Comedy Festivals as part of Mary Tobin Presents: Best of the Edinburgh Festival 2025.

This Can’t Be It is a chaotic, playful, clown “piece” delving into our futile efforts to make sense of life, through the eyes of a neurodivergent man who is incapable, yet desperate, to become someone.

Perpetually derailed, deluded, and paralysed by overwhelm, Big Loz Dodd arrives to do something very special indeed - something that might just deliver the kind of profound insight that shakes our ‘contemporary situation’ to its core.

Blending performance art and contemporary clowning, This Can’t Be It is a semi-improvised, feverish & open hearted exploration of how we stay open to the mystery when everything is closing us down. 

Directed by Lara Ricote and with Rachael Dobbie on tech.

Little Wander in association with PBJ Management present...

Amy doesn’t get angry and she’s starting to feel left out, so she’s on a quest to feel fury; from what she can discern from the world around her, it appears to be all the rage… literally.

Amy is navigating the joy of her first queer relationship whilst dusting herself off from a string of several alcoholic partners. You’d think she’d have plenty to be cross about, and yet, whilst everyone seems to be more furious than ever, she just can’t seem to tap into her own anger - so she’s challenged herself to learn.

This lack of wrath may also have something to do with a processing lag that is becoming increasingly disruptive - and comical - in her life. Her emotions seemed to be delivered by carrier pigeon, if they arrive at all. 

This is a show about being Best Supporting Actor in one’s own life, queer joy, and how a potion from 2002 cursed the world.
