When Liam was 18 he moved from Dagenham to Edinburgh, and didn’t tell his parents.

Liam returns to Soho with a story about leaving home, coming to terms with who your parents are and what to do when a personal trainer slides into your DM’s.

Liam has over 10million TikTok/Instagram views and his last Edinburgh Fringe show Chronic Boom was a sell-out success and received widespread critical acclaim, racking up sixteen 4 and 5 star reviews, making it one of the best reviewed comedy shows of 2023.

Reviews

'A lovely story about misfit adolescence, family love, the guilt we carry – and redemption.'
Guardian
'Gorgeously funny, richly resonant coming-of-age story...  I shed the odd tear, absolutely. I also laughed and laughed.'
