An inventive, laugh-out-loud celebration of the many ways we think and experience the world inside our heads.

Fast-paced, funny, and hugely relatable, 48 Thoughts Per Minute is developed in collaboration with the brilliant comedian Jessica Fostekew.

It’s claimed the average human brain generates 48 thoughts per minute (approximately 70,000 per day!). We’ll invite you to reflect on the private space inside each of your heads, as we explore the hilarious, vivid and sometimes intrusive thoughts that shape our inner worlds.

Closed captions are available, delivered to audience members’ own mobile devices.

This performance is the perfect group outing for secondary school pupils. We can offer a special schools price of £14 per student, with one free ticket for every nine purchased.
