When clowns can’t breathe water and fish can’t breathe air- what’s a poor clownfish to do in this cruel world?

In 2025, Multi award winning & nominated comedian Stephen Catling (Keep it fringe award – winner 2023, Spitfire’s Most Unique act award -Winner 2024 and Malcolm Hardee Award Nominee for comic originality 2023 & 2025) lost his slug mask. It was kinda essential part of his cult hit show “Moving on…really really slowly.”

This time, Stephen explores his life now that Autism has been “unmasked,” as well as his fin flapping rage against an increasingly soulless entertainment industry (generative AI, bad classic disney remakes, social media, other stuff) may also include Oasis but they are slugs (sloasis), Robbie William’s Betterman but an actual chimp is cast to play him not a motion capture one, a lettuce performing burlesque.

Reviews for previous shows:
”A delectable, messy and wild amuse-bouche of zany absurdist comedy”
☆☆☆☆☆ The Crumb

“An intelligent man”
☆☆☆☆london theatre 1

“a comic that can bring an audience around very quickly. For all the prop nonsense and clever sound-bites, there’s a lot of considered comedy writing for which he should be recognised for”
☆☆☆☆ Neurodiverse review

“This hour constantly surprises throughout, with everything from silly one-liners, to props, to a surprisingly raw honesty that cuts through the surrealness like a knife”
☆☆☆☆ Fringe fry up

“Fans of Harry Hill will appreciate the quickfire absurdity of the hour, cascading with daft jokes, preposterous props and manic sound effects. ”
