GUILT & SHAME: GOING STRAIGHT - written by Gabriel Bisset-Smith

GUILT & SHAME written by Gabriel Bisset-Smith and Robert Cawsey
★★★★ - Fringe Biscuit
“Welcome to Guilt & Shame, a highly experimental sketch show that takes a sledgehammer to any idea of structure. Sketches are abandoned mid-way, people walk in and out of the room, performers have complete breakdowns while performing, audience members get drafted in to play characters, and all the way through there is a threat of violence” – The Skinny
“Clever... nightmarish, Hangover style farce” - The Sunday Times
“It’s a sketch show with the most brilliant narrative that’s incredible well written, structured and performed” - Gay Times
“Highly experimental sketch show... unforgettable moments” - The Skinny
“Very clever indeed... sophisticated deconstruction of comedy... has roots in the work of Chris Morris” - Broadway Baby
