David Crowe - Boundaries - Bath Comedy Fest at Bath Fringe Fest

A tale of humiliation and bliss...

"Even after 27 years of stand-up comedy, I still have a handful of stories I've been too embarrassed to tell anyone. This is my attempt to turn some humiliation and regret into a powerful force for good. Far from being just another lurid shock humour piece disguised as introspection, Boundaries is couched as my hopes and concerns for my young daughter in a sincere - even desperate - desire to give her a few simple tools to prepare her for her own journey out into the world. It is an autobiographical 90 minutes that is simultaneously endearing, horrifying, cathartic and funny. It involves one Alaskan brown bear, an art teacher, the Soviet Union, an English dancer, an African ostrich, an Arab prince, an arrest, one old lady, India, a fight at Applebee's restaurant, and the lingering question, is your heart healthy enough for sex? Bath Fringe is its Festival world premiere."
