In 2023, Joe Leather was chasing his dreams of an Edinburgh Fringe debut, when...ping! A herniated disc! Some people survive shark attacks; Joe stretched too enthusiastically. Refusing to accept such a humble beginning, Joe rewrites history live onstage to find a 'back' story worthy of the painful consequences.
Baby Got Back (Problems) is a musical comedy about ambition, bad timing and the absolute audacity of the human spine. It's a show for anyone who’s ever thought "this is going to be my year..." then had to lie down for a while. Offie-winner Joe Leather blends musical comedy, puppetry and genre-bending storytelling in a show about pain, performance and the desperate human need to turn random suffering into a good tale(bone).
"CPT is as a beacon of fringe goodness, a theatre that champions diversity, inclusivity and the best kind of weird uniqueness"
