About this show
You Are What You Eat is a comedy about friendship, tenacity and outrageous misadventures that dives into the gritty underbelly of fictional 1970s London through the eyes of two aspiring detectives. In this action-packed adventure, Lewis and Tom find themselves embroiled in a deadly mystery involving corrupt police, a crime boss and the death of a young woman. With the odds stacked high and bullets flying, their only weapons are their wits, awkward heroics, a sarcastic sister and the belief that they might just be the city's last hope. 'Excellent' (Everything-Theatre.co.uk).
