Alexis Dubus

Tuesday, 17 February 21:30 - 22:30

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

How Much: £8.00 (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'.
