A white man with short grey hair is sat down and talking into a microphone. He’s wearing a pink paper crown on his head and a pink waterproof jacket with a sticky note on it that says ‘ME’. Behind him a pale pink liquid is dripping down the wall. The same liquid is also on his jacket, hand and lips as well.

A performance about masking, performing and ‘acting the part.’

After their 2023 sell-out run of The Talent, Action Hero are back and definitely not making a scene.

Lost inside a recurring nightmare filled with the phantoms of his disapproving ancestors, a reluctant actor returns to the stage. In an attempt to conquer an 8-year period of intense stage fright, he replays his own life story and starts to lose the plot.

But he’s not going to make a big song and dance about it.

Instead, he’s determined to keep the show on the road, re-writing his anxiety dreams live on stage with you, the audience, in the hope of banishing the ghosts of performances past.

“Thrillingly funny and strange. Beckett’s hip, pop-culture savvy descendants”

Time Out

“I have never seen a show from these artists that didn’t make you sit up a little straighter and want to peer a little more closely” Stagedoor
