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

An interactive and audience-led gameshow 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?

The first work-in-progress showing of When The Fun Stops Try Again? was on as part of Omnibus Theatre’s regular scratch programme, Engine Room, on the 21st March 2022 and has since been to the Projection Room (Paignton) and Camden People’s Theatre.

‘While the scripts alone are interesting enough to form the basis of a show, the premise is fantastically imaginative and perfectly fits the subject matter. A fun, thought-provoking watch that’s worth checking out – and if you’re brave enough to take to the microphone, you may even go home with a prize!’
