About this show
Are you a failure? A reject? Alone? Good. Named 'one to watch' by Rolling Stone Magazine, cult comedian/leader Hannah Platt is primed to prey on your vulnerabilities and bring you a new show you'll drink up like kool-aid. Following a multi award-nominated debut, the 'voice of a new generation' (Skinny) returns to ask: once you've sacrificed everything, should you sacrifice your soul? And can you do it online? 'Humour sharp enough to draw blood' (Guardian). 'A supremely accomplished example of how to reconstitute deep, emotional trauma into punchy, affecting stand-up' (Scotsman).

— Theatre Village (4 out of 5 stars)
At it’s best Hannah’s dark comedy about how relatable cult’s suicidal ambitions used to appeal to her younger, less therapised self had the room laughing hard at some great deadpan deliveries.
