The Line Up 

Flinger by Steve Wallis

I’m a Liverpool performer and dog-walker who came to a clown workshop at the Unity last year. I left the workshop with 5 minutes of material and am now trying to pad that out  grow that to 10 minutes. During the workshop it emerged, that I was mainly trying to find out whether I could make a dog-ball-flinger look a bit like a flamingo. You be the judge!

Feed The Scousers by Jakob Taylor

‘Feed The Scousers is a playful postulation on Scouseness as both a cultural identity and way of being. Come with me, as I attempt to stage and represent a true celebration of the city of Liverpool and its inhabitants, Scousers. Exploring such through my own lived experience and historicity’

Jakob is a theatre maker and dramaturg from Liverpool. Following the conclusion of his master’s studies in London he is hoping to build upon the foundation of his academic studies and develop his creative practice starting with the re-imagining of his final performance piece ‘Feed The Scousers’

Casu Martzu by Simone Tani

A clown’s journey through a world of maggot-infested blue cheese. Featuring Teatro Pomodoro’s Simone Tani and live music by Marco Riola, this duo of Sardinians living in Liverpool brings laughter, tunes, and a taste of their magical Mediterranean island to the Unity Theatre.

 

The Fanny Diaries by Erin McDaid

Have you ever wondered what your fanny would say if she could talk? Would she be pleased and proud of your antics? Or would she give you a stern talking to? ‘The Fanny Diaries’ is an original comedy, following twenty-four-and-a-half-year-old Camilla’s journey, as she tackles the trials and tribulations of the hell that we call womanhood. If that isn’t enough, dealing with a whirlwind of failed romances and unsatisfactory sexual interactions, as well as facing her upcoming smear test, which leads to unexpected news, could all send her spiralling.

Seafloor by Jake Angerer

A monologue about a young man and a baby pigeon (or – an extract from a work in progress by a very slow writer).

Jake is a part time writer. Some of his work has appeared in the Raven Review, Creepypod and The Last Line. He enjoys writing horror.
