The Sound of One Man Cracking
What happens when a Zen monk, a tennis racquet, and two urns walk into a midlife crisis? After seventy years of chasing perfection — through acting, cycling, meditation, and sheer panic — Alan Lovell brings his parents’ ashes onstage to find out what really went wrong. A brutally funny, deeply human, one-man show about love, loss, and learning that maybe, just maybe, there was never anything to fix.
Alan Lovell returns to the stage with a brand new one-man show after his hugely successful 'I Pilgrim' sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019.
Alan's credits include the 'Comedy Company', 'Andrew Denton's Live and Sweaty', 'Mission Impossible 2', 'Strife', 'The Last Anniversary', 'Separation City', and more.
