James Mullinger's Schooldays @ Etcetera Theatre
James Mullinger follows up his critically acclaimed 2009 show about his life as a feminist with a brand new hour of hilarity, focusing on his horrific and hilarious school days. Mullinger's show went down a storm at the Camden Fringe last year, and was followed by a sell-out tour and West End theatre run. His second Camden Fringe show promises to be his most brutally honest yet.
