The critically acclaimed one-woman show Spin Cycles will run at Camden People’s Theatre from 3 to 7 February 2026, following praised seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe and in Cape Town.
Written and performed by Jamie-Lee Money, the 70-minute production is a satirical, confessional exploration of grief, anxiety and the strange ways people search for feeling and control when life shifts unexpectedly.
Performed entirely on and around a spin bike, the show blends stand-up storytelling with physical endurance to immerse audiences in the cult-like world of boutique spin studios.
The narrative follows a South African journalist living in London who is sent to review a new luxury spin studio, while privately grappling with anticipatory grief relating to her mother’s breast cancer, the loss of loved ones and fears around inherited illness.
Spin Cycles has been developed through ongoing collaboration between Money and director Larica Schnell, combining autobiographical material with sharp observational humour and visceral physical storytelling.
Money said: “Since writing the show, I’ve found two breast lumps myself – at 32, that’s a terrifying thought. Not only do I like my boobs and my hair, but, selfishly, I don’t want to go through what my mum went through. This show is about strength, bravery and confronting your demons, even when they’re only the size of a grape.”
The production has received strong critical praise, with The Scotsman awarding four stars and calling it an impressive Fringe debut.
Performances take place across five nights at Camden People’s Theatre, with a press night on Tuesday 3 February at 7pm.
