About this show
'Theatre at its most scintillating' (Guardian). Straight from their highly acclaimed run at London's Soho Theatre, this 'fantastically talented' (WhatsOnStage.co.uk) duo mark their triumphant return to the festival it last year took by storm. Come witness 'the greatest hallucinogenic on earth' (Metro.co.uk), as this 'gloriously deranged queer masterpiece' (PinkPrinceTheatre.com) arrives home. A religious sect in Nebraska wears butt plugs at all times because they believe a wrathful God shall suck the unplugged up, ass-first, to burn on the face of the sun. The crazy thing is... they're right.

If it is done with enough passion, commitment and sheer musical ability, apparently you really can make a musical about absolutely anything. 5 Stars
The music is energised and jaunty, giving the show a filmic momentum despite the minimalism
— The Spy in the Stalls (4 out of 5 stars)
This wacky comedy duo does not miss a beat, and when they do slip out of character for a water break, the show continues; such is their infectiously hilarious chemistry.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
