After a severe case of writer’s block, Owen Roberts has thrown caution to the wind and decided to let a six-year-old child write his show for him.

Kids are funny, right? What could possibly go wrong?

Well, it turns out she can’t spell, she can’t focus for more than three minutes and her ideas are wildly unrealistic.

This whirlwind solo comedy show has everything from a cross-dressing police officer’s adventures in Africa, to a man-eating foot that lives under the sea. It promises to be a show about how children think, and how annoying they are to work with.

Owen Roberts has recently appeared in Wannabe, and Witless, both on BBC3 and Drunk History on Comedy Central.

Owen is also a member of sketch group BEASTS who return to the Pleasance Queen Dome for 4 nights only this summer with Best of BEASTS (16th-19th August).
