Welcome to the great Indoors, where Luke Rollason (Extraordinary, Disney+) brings his third solo show Bowerbird to the SOHO Theatre this July after a critically-acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe run.
It’s an absurd ode to the great indoors and the relationships we form with the objects we fill it with – the armchair singing the lost loves that left behind their bum imprints, abandoned utensils with uncertain parenthood, and the sordid spooning going on in your cutlery drawer. This soft-furnished fun combines mime, clowning and outrageously inventive uses of tape measures.
Like a visit to IKEA on acid, this is a psychedelic domestic breakdown exploring hoarding, nesting, and choosing between people and things – which for a prop comedian is a significantly harder thing to do.
This time he’s wearing his hearth on his sleeve.
Luke stars as one of the leads of new Disney+ comedy series Extraordinary, playing the role of a cat-turned-human called Jizzlord with “great charm” (New York Times). He trained at the infamous clown school L’Ecole Philippe Gaulier. Bowerbird is his third solo show. His debut was produced by the SOHO Theatre for two sell-out runs. He was a finalist at the 2020 Sketch Off and Musical Comedy Award competitions.
Luke Rollason: Bowerbird is at Soho Theatre: 5 – 8 July. More information can be found here
