Old Fat F**k Up is a show about seeing your naked body in the mirror and crying, discovering your career’s uncontrollably disintegrating, and realising that suddenly everything costs a bomb. Oh, and now you’ve got kids too, so there’s that.
Following last year's ★★★★★ hit, F**king Legend (Pleasance, Edinburgh; Riverside Studios, London), Olly (and his fairly punchable face) returns with a show that rips into the absurdity of modern life, peels back the layers of middle-aged denial and exposes the wreckage men leave behind when they’re just trying not to break things.
*but may not be. In fact, let’s be honest, it probably won’t be.
Olly’s last show, F**king Legend, was named in the Top 10 shows at Ed Fringe 2024 (The Crush Bar) and transferred to Riverside Studios. He is co-artistic director of take stock exchange - their latest series of podcasts, Machloket, made with the Royal Court, is available now. He’s worked with some of the country’s most prestigious and exciting venues, including the National Theatre, The Young Vic and The Barbican. In a more experimental phase he made a show where he gave himself an enema on stage, but don’t worry, this show is much more grown up.
