As the audience is still taking its seats, a mother and father are manic in the detail of their preparations for their son’s fourth birthday. The mother (Mary Angley) barks at the father (Yoz Mensch) to move the cake table into the perfect position.

It all begins real enough, anxious parents doting on their almost-four-year-old son (sit in the front row if you really want to feel the love). To warm us up, we’re treated to a hilarious explanation of what makes a ‘hot dad’ by a seductive Angley, sensual poetry on ketchup, and a raw example of couples’ intimacy in their bathroom etiquette.
