    ‘There’s a one in fifty-one chance you’ll win £500. There’s also a one in fifty-one chance you’ll end the show immediately. What you gonna do?’

    An interactive and audience-led show about gambling addiction, grief and winning the jackpot. When The Fun Stops, Try Again? is a semi-autobiographical exploration of working-class addiction and how we can’t help but dream of a more lavish life.

    Part storytelling, part stand-up, part dream, When The Fun Stops, Try Again? asks: What would YOU do if you won the lottery, and how much would you be willing to risk to get it?

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
