Fresh off London's West End, musical clown Dru Cripps is once again unemployed. That's ok, though he was recently crowned winner of the Dabbers Bingo Comedy Caller Contest, and he knows his way around Universal Credit.
Building on last year's multiple sold-out Edinburgh Fringe run, Pickle Bin, Cripps brings together some of his favourite characters for a fresh take on (un)employment, life as an artist, and his old friend: Universal Credit. Dru Cripps is Your Friend with Benefits. Help him find a job by coming to his new show!
