Imaginary Friends

About Imaginary Friends

Recommended Age Guide 12+ | Contains strong language, and references to grief and suicide.

SCOTTISH PREMIERE

A dark comedy about comedy.

After a personal tragedy, a floundering TV comic starts listening to the wrong voices in his head. They’re terrible people, and he knows it. But the ideas they’re coming up with for his failing show are terrific. Is he on the right side of history? Or has his moral compass become completely derailed?

Welcome to the warped mirror world of Imaginary Friends, award-winning writer-performer Daniel Bye’s first solo show for seven years. This is a major event. Bye’s trademark blend of the hilarious and the mind-bending is at its best in this startling new show. Book now for a wild hallucinatory ride through the looking glass of twenty-first century culture.

‘Funny, wise, impeccably performed. […] Bye is one of the most astute and thoughtful contemporary theatremakers around.’ ★★★★ The Stage

Written and performed by DANIEL BYE
