FIASCO!

The true(ish) story of a fringe musical gone horribly wrong.

The year is 2018. Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You blasts out of the speakers of every high street store and car radio, plastic straws are OUT, bisexual lighting is IN, Queer Eye is BACK, Hamilton clears up at the Oliviers, Meghan marries Harry, Cardi B throws a shoe at Nicki Minaj, and our narrator has unknowingly
just joined the cast of the worst musical production to ever grace the London theatre scene.

This is the true(ish) story of what happened during that contract. If you like showbiz gossip, shows-within-shows, comedy, musicals, musical-comedy and/or Ash Weir as a person, there’s a good chance you’ll like this WIP. Fiasco! is a salacious send up of, and love letter to fringe musical theatre, its
many eccentricities, foibles and disasters.

If you’re interested, you should probably come and see it now, because there’s a non-zero chance it’ll receive a cease-and-desist before it goes anywhere else…
