It's always interesting to see how John-Luke Roberts is going to fill an hour, there'll be a left-field idea somewhere, and he's always one of the more refreshing acts in the festival.
A rejigged washing machine on stage sets the scene, and from it JLR emerges to take us on a fantastical set of ideas, multiple worlds where little things are just off or different. Throughout this, a phone hidden in the washing machine connects Roberts to other alternate reality JLRs each with their own issues, and through this all our own Roberts is trying to escape reality, but it isn't to be in the end. Nevertheless an intriguing hour with delightful absurdist ideas.
