Churchill’s Urinal
World premiere at the King’s Head Theatre, London from 13 May – 6 June – tickets from £10 here!
Churchill’s Urinal is a new comedy by and starring Rosie Holt, with additional material by Stewart Lee.
Freshly installed in 11 Downing Street, a fearless female Chancellor of the Exchequer is determined to get rid of the ancient urinal in her grace-and-favour en-suite. Intrigue overflows into outrage when it transpires that the porcelain was first tinkled on by that undying icon of Britishness, Winston Churchill. Soon, the whole nation has a view on this storm in a pisspot. This rambunctious romp takes audiences through the corridors of power to discover whether our fearless Chancellor’s grip on her Budget red box can survive the clamour for her Whitehall washroom to be awarded a Blue Plaque.
Known for her alter-ego MP who has achieved more than seven million views with her online videos, and toured two stage shows nationally, satirist and Chortle award-winner Rosie Holt shares the world premiere of her new play, first seen in a reading at Shedinburgh last year.
Directed by Daniel Clarkson, whose previous show starring Rosie Holt The Crown Live sold out at the King’s Head Theatre, and whose other credits include Olivier Award nominees Potted Potter, and Potted Panto, as well as Biff To The Future which is currently on an extensive tour.
“Can Holt’s comedy career survive the advent of a Labour government? On this evidence, you’d fancy her chances.” The Guardian
“Tightly crafted and brutal political satire with Orwellian flourishes” Evening Standard
“Hilarious and alarmingly close to the bone” The New World
