About this show
A mixed-bill showcase of imaginative performers who share frank, funny and sometimes frustrated insights into life with a non-visible disability. Curated by and featuring writer-performer Nikki Fagbemi (Netflix, C4, Sky Arts) and comedy writer-director Alex Hardy, who both have invisible illnesses. Each show features comedians, writers, actors, anyones… who are carrying hidden aches, pains, strains. So many medical appointments to juggle, so many people saying 'you look fine' and 'have you tried yoga?'... This is an imaginative response from hand-picked, underrepresented voices, who will relish showing you a glimpse of their worlds.
