High-energy comedy ensemble Maybe You Like it are coming to the Swindon Arts Centre this October with their Edinburgh Fringe hit, ‘Pleading Stupidity’.
Critically acclaimed and nominated for multiple awards, 'Pleading Stupidity', which is aimed at under 30s, tells the unbelievable true story of two young Australians who robbed a bank… whilst still wearing their name tags from work.
Told with fast-paced action and verbatim speech by a talented multi-roling cast, the show recounts the crime, which was solved in just 8 minutes, and unbelievable antics that followed.
Following nomination for the Charlie Hartill award, sold out shows and critical acclaim at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe, and a sold out London run, 'Pleading Stupidity' tours with a mission to cater for younger audiences. The show bridges the gap between comedy and theatre, and is paced to match a social-media-literate generation.
Co-creator Ellie Iley said: “We’ve created a show for our generation. As young people who consume content incredibly quickly, we want our entertainment to move as fast as we do.”
Producer Jake Morry said: “This is a show for people who love comedy but don’t think theatre is for them. It racks up the laughs and ramps up the tension, asking what it means to control how your story is told."
'Pleading Stupidity' will be coming to Swindon Arts Centre on 30 October 2024.
