Canalhouse
Tickets £13
What if one of the most ordinary places in Britain has a surprisingly extraordinary history? Join comedian Tom Wrigglesworth for an inappropriately deep investigation into the evolution of the humble hand drier, or as he likes to call it, 'the hearth of the public washroom'.
Expect engineering revolutions, social etiquette theory, and utter nonsense courtesy of one of the finest and most original comics in the UK.
It's a show about loos… but it's really about us.
Sony Award and Rose D'Or winner, Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, Chortle & Time Out Award winner and as seen / heard on Radio 4 and BBC 2.
