‘The Writing on the Stall’ will start at Brighton’s Komedia for two shows on 31st May & 1st June before a run at London’s Soho Theatre from 4th – 7th June. She has previously sold out several Off-Broadway runs, national tours, and last years Edinburgh Fringe and subsequent London shows.
‘The Writing on the Stall’, Caitlin’s hit bathroom graffiti musical is an uproariously funny, unique show not only because it’s literally set in a public bathroom! Watch Cook transform toilet scrawled graffiti into the lyrics of original songs that takes the audience on a journey through these irreverent, poignant, and often obscene messages. Be warned show might include: slingshotted underwear, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick (complete, with spurs!)
"After building bits and pieces of this show for years at past fringes and in front of UK audiences, it was so incredibly rewarding to return to a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and seven sold out shows in London this summer—shows full of audiences singing along and lining up to talk to me for hours afterwards. I can’t wait to bring it back to the prestigious Soho Theatre and do a larger UK tour." CAITLIN COOK
