The smart, definitive guide to things to do in London

Alexis Dubus: A Brief Ruddy History of Swearing

Alexis Dubus

Wednesday, 7 January from 19:30 - 20:30

Etcetera Theatre, 265, Camden High Street, Camden, NW1 7BU

How Much: £8 (Entry)
It's big AND it's clever. Fables, facts and funnies about our favourite four-letter friends.

This show went down incredibly well at Edinburgh this year and won the 'Three Weeks Editors' Award' for Top 10 Edinburgh Fringe Experiences.  Dubus spent a lot of time researching the history of where swear words come from and it has paid off. This is an interesting, silly and ultimately funny show with some lost expletives that we should really start using again.  Like 'Duckfucker'.
