IAM presents:

Lou Wall: Breaking the Fifth Wall

Mon 10 – Sat 22 Nov 25 60 minutes
Guardian
Time Out
Arts Hub
Age
Chortle
A new show by Lou Wall about lying, mental breakdowns and the internet.

Featuring Wall’s signature meme-fuelled PowerPoints and musical comedy, Breaking the Fifth Wall is a forensic and frankly ludicrous deep dive into the space where performance and reality collide. Nothing and everything is as it seems.

Directed by Zoë Coombs Marr.
