In her latest hour of critically acclaimed stand-up, London-based comedian Robyn Perkins invites you to ask her anything, and she’ll do the rest. Previous questions (answered truthfully) include: 'Would America be better off if it didn’t elect its own presidents?', 'Can we draft your wedding vows?' and even 'Who’s the hottest audience member?'. Same title, different show. Participation is optional. But audiences can’t help getting involved in Perkins’ energetic, eclectic and absolutely enthralling show. Reviews of 10,000 Ideas: 'Downright hilarious' **** (FringeFeed.com.au). 'She makes some excellent noises.' **** (One4Review.co.uk).

OMG, have you heard..? Jill and Jackie sit down to work with every intention of not indulging their terrible addiction to talking about their co-workers. But Pheme on reception told Jill something huge and she can't contain it any more. And Jackie will just die when she finds out... or at least... someone will. A new play by Lucy Frederick about the epic joy (and dangers) of gossip. Cast: Stephanie Laing, Robyn Perkins. Praise for previous plays: 'Moving and macabre – like Alan Bennett meets Tales of the Unexpected' **** (Scotsman).
