In 2019 I lost my Dad. Well, I didn't lose him. I knew exactly where he was – in the coffin at the front of the crem. How to Be a Better Human is a spoken word comedy about grief, loss and self-acceptance. It tells Chris' story of losing two of the biggest relationships in his life - Dad and Wife - in the space of a few months. Mixing humour, storytelling and poetry, the show explores how death, loss and divorce might help us be better at empathising, connecting and understanding each other; and how growing a beard can be the best decision of your life, and why some hedgehogs are absolute dickheads.

"Honest and entertaining” – Lyn Gardner, THE STAGE
Rowan McCabe is the world’s first Door-to-Door Poet. Knocking on stranger’s doors, he writes poems for them, for free, on any subject of their choosing. It’s a bit like the Avon lady, except with rhymes. In March 2019, Rowan set out to visit 12 locations across England, one every month. Through this bold and arguably stupid act, he was trying to find out what matters to people, what is the state of our nation and if strangers are really as scary as they’re made out to be. But as March 2020 approached, world events pushed the project in a very different direction… A show about trust, class and community, this funny and thought-provoking mix of theatre and spoken word tells the story of what happened to Rowan on his trip around the country.
