Brainsluts

by Dan Bishop

The Victoria Institute, Tarrant Street, Arundel

Tickets: £15 / £10 students

Following its acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Drip Action presents Brainsluts by Dan Bishop - a sharp, funny and highly original new comedy set in the strange world of a clinical drug trial.

Five strangers sign up to test a mystery drug. Over the course of five Sundays, they wait, watch, worry and talk, scrutinising every possible side effect while gradually revealing the anxieties, ambitions and oddities that brought them there in the first place.

Described by The Guardian as a “distinctive comedy”, Brainsluts is a witty and unsettling look at modern work, loneliness, money, identity and the awkward ways people try to connect.
