Crybabies' unique blend of narrative-driven sketch comedy earned them a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards and a host of 5 star reviews.
Set on a strange forgotten island off the English coast, erstwhile science teacher Chris Mystery (not Christmas Tree) discovers an alien creature from a faraway universe...Bagbeard. Desperate to share his discovery and achieve the acclaim he's always desired, Mystery must conceal this alien creature from the baying townspeople and Terminator-esque government agent, Victor Valentine.
Bagbeard is ET meets The Wicker Man meets Harry Meets Sally. Join James Gault (tall), Ed Jones (handsome) and Michael Clarke (??) for this boundlessly absurd, sci-fi infected, narrative sketch adventure about finding your place in the universe.
