The Scene X Camden Fringe - I'm A Philosopher, Why The Fu*k Am I Here?

The good folks at Make My Show bring you interactive, lip-sync, musical comedy pastiche of reality TV called, ‘I’m a Philosopher! Why the Fuck am I Here?’. The show is an anarchic, funny and frivolous reimagining of a certain, well-known, jungle-based reality gameshow; but instead of being populated by a bunch of D-List ‘celebrities’ ours features some of the worlds greatest intellectuals (and Jordan Perterson). Think of swapping Danny Dyer and Katie Price for Jean Jacques Rousseau and Judith Butler.And it’s fully interactive, so where they get to sing, dance and squabble; you get to vote on who gets evicted and who has to eat the ostrich eyeballs. It’s like a cross between the irreverent humour ‘Oh, Mary!’ and the wordplay of Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, but with you deciding what happens – this show is never the same twice.You might even get a bit-part as one of the watching philosophers (if you’ve ever fancied playing Plato, Simone de Beauvoir or Karl Marx - here's your chance.) It’s directed by Maddie Hurley, who infuses it with their experience of lip-sync cabaret and stars Senne Lambrechts (as ‘JJ’ Rousseau), Oscar Nicholson (as ‘Tommy’ Hobbes), Laura Shipler Chico (as Ayn ‘Randy’ Rand, ‘Judy’ Butler and the Bear!) and Will Robertson (as ‘Pete’ Singer and ‘Jordo’ Peterson). Movement and choreography are directed by Angela Botha and our assistant director, Jess Beith, also takes a cameo role. The play was written by Roger Francis and is being performed at The Cockpit in Marylebone on the 13th, 14th and 15th of August at 9pm
