About this show
Alex Camp returns for his second Fringe show, a searingly honest yet bonkers look at addictions both big and small. Stampede through the rat run of booze, sex and mental health while injected buzzing on Alex's trademark original comedy songs. The Leicester Comedy Festival award nominee is a former Tokyo expat, failed musician, love-rat and addict. His argument is, these addictions shaped his life and made him a better person. Why do we get addicted? How do we find community? What are the toilets like? Featuring Taylor Swift, hand dryers, sweets, code-switching and much more.
