Skitch rips suburbia open with comedy, chaos & poetry - performance art with heart.


Shared truths meet surreal delights: whisky, politics, life, death, stray cats and drunken sailors.

Blending spoken word, comedy, theatre and experimental audience interaction, Skitch’s premiere full length poetry show is a kaleidoscope of emotion and absurdity. A place where shared truths meet surreal delights. Directed by the award winning Maude Davey and featuring a sublime sound design by Jack Lewis.

Let’s take a look down the back of the couch... Shall we?
