Powerhouse performer Andi Snelling is in the fight of her life after a tick bite plunged her into dangerously ill health. Little does she know, she is about to orchestrate her own rescue in this visceral odyssey that blends clowning, storytelling and roller skates.

Through a profound celebration of mortality and resilience, Andi aligns the personal with the universal and makes the invisible visible as she shares her ongoing plight with unflinching honesty and gut-punching comedy. The show's message of hope amidst uncertainty is even more relevant now than ever.

With rave reviews, standing ovations and making multiple 'Best Of 2019' lists, this show is simply unmissable.
