everybody wants to be a cat because a cat is just a cat
‘An epically strange clown show… Frankie is a born comedic talent’
★★★★★ Funny Women

Following sell-out runs in Edinburgh and London, the smash hit clown cat cabaret returns.

From ‘acclaimed clown’ (To Do List) and concerted idiot Frankie Thompson comes an anarchic one-woman adaptation of Cats (the musical). But not about cats, not about musicals, not about Cats (the musical). CAttS is a lip-sync ballet through the distractions and obsessions that help us cope with an increasingly dystopian reality. Because after all, wouldn’t we rather think about cats?
