What do you get when a stand-up comic has another dream – to cut hair?

In this daring, heartfelt and hilarious hour, an audience volunteer will get their hair cut live on stage by said (unqualified) comedian, as she simultaneously performs a full solo stand-up show.

It’s a show about trust, transformation, and the intimate magic of letting someone see you up close — roots, regrets and all!

It’s about how we choose to present ourselves, the quiet theatre of a salon chair, and the absurdity of trying to stay human in a world that’s increasingly hands-off.

As the cut takes shape, so does something deeper: a meditation on self-image, expression, vulnerability, and the small, brave acts of connection that still hold us together.

Come for the jokes. Stay for the juicy gossip! Leave with a fresh perspective (and possibly a fringe).

Andrew Frost has recently been described as the “Greatest Card Magician in the World”. Can he live up to the hype? Come and find out if it’s true.

Following an acclaimed Edinburgh Festival Fringe run – and working with some of the world’s top magicians – Andrew Frost brings his innovative and contemporary blend of comedy, theatre and magic on tour.
