Heavy Petting, Heavier Blankets

by Ben O’Sullivan

Laughing Horse Free Festival18+

Can you find a girlfriend, even if they know you sleep with a weighted blanket? That’s the question we all ask, whilst laying alone under our Silent Night Washable Weighted Blanket with removable cover. Now available in grey. In his latest absurd outing, silly and surreal comedian Ben O’Sullivan will try desperately to avoid talking about his intimacy issues, whilst allowing the full burden of his romantic failings to land on the, already heavy, weighted blanket. ‘Ben reminds me of a young James Acaster and look what he achieved’ (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). ‘Side-splittingly brilliant’ (WeLoveBrighton.com). 'Amusingly quirky’ (Chortle.co.uk).
