Stephen Catling: Clownfish Out of Water and Friends

15th February - 22nd February
The Globe, 43 Silver Street, Leicester, LE1 5EU

Award winning comic Stephen Catling brings you his new WIP featuring some up and coming acts providing support.

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, Catling (Malcolm Hardee Award Nominee 2023 & 2025) lost his slug mask. It was an essential part of his 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 who knows what is going to be in store A burlesque performing cabbage/lettuce A rendition of Robbie Williams musical biopic Betterman but they casted a real chimp Rage against the machine (Generative AI)

Disclaimer: The show is not going to be about a literal clownfish or finding nemo. A colleague back in his lab days described him lovingly as psychotic Mighty Boosh and The British comedy guide called him A bucking bronco of surrealism and scruffiness if this sounds like your bag welcome aboard the crazy train.
