Expect facts, puns and an ear trumpet attached to a whiskey bottle. It's science meets funny. 'One of the ones to watch' (Evening Standard). 'Very funny' (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk).

Nick Cassenbaum’s brand new absurd comedy takes a sideways look at the fake news world. A cast of 18 young actors present a ridiculous, satirical vision of contemporary society – vapid, vacuous and vain. A couple bicker at an airport immigration checkpoint whilst an innocent victim is interrogated by a trio of incompetents. Journalists desperately search for a story where there is simply no news. A priest without compassion, a doctor without care, a trombonist without a band. Dysfunction abounds and nothing makes very much sense any more in this comedy for the alternative age.

07800 834030. That's my phone number. Call me… about anything. This is a show about what happens when you put out your number, and ask people to call you… about anything. So I don't really know what's going to happen. Last year we made a rock star, got tattoos, and there were some cheeky snogs. 

'In 07800 834030, all human life is here. Fundamentally, she proves that we’re none of us too different from our neighbours. A show that embodies the true spirit of the Fringe and of humanity to boot' (FringeReview.co.uk).
