Perrier Comedy and Fringe First award winner Will Adamsdale and Fuel presents a new autobiographical show about escape, creativity and technology.

Once upon a time a washed up London writer and technophobe went off-grid in a confused lockdown relocation… only to find that the grass ain’t always greener.

The blank page stretched out like the endless fields. His only hope? His greatest enemy – technology!  A story of bots, writer’s block and getting away from it all.

“An utter delight” The Guardian on FaceTime, 2019

“So skilled an actor, so nuanced a writer that it’s hard to tell where the line between standup and character comedy lies” The Scotsman on Borders, 2014

Directed by Tom-Parry Wicks.

Writer and performer:

Will Adamsdale is an award-winning performer, writer and deviser. He has made six shows: Jackson’s Way, which won the Perrier Award for comedy in 2004 and was later revived for a sold-out month-long tour playing a different venue every night across London; The Receipt, which won a Fringe First award and the Total Theatre Award for Innovation at the Edinburgh Fringe 2006; The Human Computer, The Summer House, The Joke, and The Victorian in the Wall, which was a Fuel and Royal Court co-production, which toured to great acclaim.

He is also an experienced actor, with roles in Richard Curtis’s The Boat That Rocked; Chris Morris’s Four Lions; Channel 4's Comedy Campus; Detroit, Steppenwolf’s production at the National Theatre; and Jack Thorne’s adaptation of Stuart: A Life Backwards.

“Adamsdale is creating a body of work that rides roughshod over the boundaries between comedy and theatre, making us laugh even as it asks the big questions” The Guardian
