When disaster strikes in Gary's brain, the only ones able to save him are his last two brain cells. Unfortunately, they're completely incapable of getting anything done. Faced with their own mortality, they must try their best to keep everything afloat.
My Last Two Brain Cells is the debut show from Tom Hazelden and Joe Pike on it's way to the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. My Last Two Brain Cells opened at Vault Festival 2023 to an extended, sell-out run and a nomination for the People’s Choice Award.
Originally devised for Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company as a 10 minute sketch, the show has been in development since. Tom and Joe are both character performers and are creating high concept, fast paced, absurdist comedy with nods to clown and sketch (think Aunty Donna meets The Office).
Set in the head office of TPL inc. (the company in charge of running Gary Kane’s body), My Last Two Brain Cells invites the audience of honorary hormones in for a special, once in a lifetime tour of the brain.
Unfortunately, when things go awry, the two biggest idiots in the office are the only ones left and are tasked with keeping everything afloat and saving Gary’s life.
A wholesome, chaotic hour full of audience interaction, music, skits and the most beautiful dance duet the world has ever seen.
“A good deal of the humour comes from these intrinsic differences in character, served up with a dollop of absurdist outlook” British Theatre Guide
“This show presents a brilliant concept through highly witty and banterous exchanges and engagement throughout, it truly does score top marks for originality too”
