A week before the official Knotty Festival opens, we invite you to join us for this special warm-up event presenting two unique and radical performances exploring what it means to find your place in the world when you just don’t fit in

What ever happened to the Glory days? by Catherine Hoffmann

Songs and texts, created from interviews with people from all over the UK about their break ups are spluttered, danced and spoken in this honest and tender performance looking at what happens when we exit a relationship.

Workshy by Katy Baird

This remarkable debut performance work from artist and activist Katy Baird takes a brutally truthful look at her career of more than twenty years working within the service industry.

From getting you high to supersizing your whopper meal, Katy feels she has done everything she can to make the public happy and she isn’t sure if she has much left to give.

With unflinching humour and a provocative performative style Workshy is a powerful and honest portrayal of the relationship between work, class and aspiration.

“messy, anarchic and very funny’ –  The Stage

‘Baird is a brilliant, clever and funny performer’. – Exeunt

‘A really great piece of theatrical social commentary’ – Vice
