Time Out
‘Artistically audacious… Brookes’s throwaway lines are deeper than a lot of comedian’s five-minute routines.’
★★★★ Chortle

Jordan has taken a different approach, and turned back towards one of the original moneymaker tragedies in the biz – the Titanic.

Convinced there’s something previously undiscovered, he’s gone on an obsessive deep dive to prove there’s life in the old ship yet, and by extension, him.

Can he find something original to say about the most well-worn topic of all time? Or will he have to make something up?

A full-blown (sort of) musical spectacular featuring a star-studded (sort of) cast from the Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner.
