Bottom

Locked in his bathroom during a tragic third date, Willy Hudson asks: are you a top or a bottom?

Bottom is about bums, Beyoncé and burnt fish fingers. Join Willy for a queer coming-of-age remix, as he questions if 'bottom' in the bedroom means 'bottom' in life - and whether Beyoncé can help put his love on top.

With a cracking soundtrack, Willy's funny, honest and open-hearted storytelling yanks the lid off the queer experience. 

This is for anyone who hates making the first move.

Anyone who thinks they are unlovable.

Anyone that's ever tried to be someone they're not. 

Bottom had sell-out runs at Edinburgh Fringe, Soho Theatre and a national tour. It is published by Oberon and performed internationally. It is in development for TV with Balloon Entertainment.

Developed with support from The Arts Council, Exeter Phoenix, Bristol Old Vic Ferment, Strike A Light and Bryony Kimmings.
