About this show

What if I told you there was another The One? This one-woman musical is an absurd, stupid and clown-y journey through the events of the iconic 1999 sci-fi film, only this time told through the eyes of Anderson Thomas, AKA "Typo". Agents, machines, kung fu and bullet time – pills, songs and Squiddy, the sentinel puppet. Becky Goodman will free your mind. 'A very strong comedy songwriter and physical comedian' (Tim Harding, Chortle.co.uk). 'An unmissable show' (Peter Carty, Guardian).
