Old Fat F**k Up follows Olly, a man staring down middle age with a mix of panic, despair, and self-deprecating humor. Between collapsing career prospects, spiraling expenses, and the chaos of parenthood, he finds himself face-to-face with the absurdity of modern life—and his own reflection. What begins as a midlife meltdown unfolds into a brutally honest and darkly funny exploration of failure, masculinity, and survival.

Written and performed by Olly, this new solo show follows his critically acclaimed F**king Legend (Pleasance, Edinburgh; Riverside Studios, London), praised for its unflinching wit and emotional candor. With his trademark blend of sharp humor and vulnerability, Olly dissects the wreckage of contemporary adulthood—where holding it all together is just another impossible expectation.

Directed with a raw, confessional energy, Old Fat F**k Up continues Olly’s examination of male fragility and the quiet crises of everyday life, offering a stark, relatable portrait of what it means to unravel—and maybe, just maybe, rebuild.
