Dad’s a priest. Mum never came back from Benidorm. And all you want to do is win the bleeping X-Factor.About this Event
Meet Shannon and Jodi – sisters, funeral directors and experts at burying shit. Stuck in Dumbfordton, a small town with a population of 338 and dropping, they share an all-consuming mission: to win The X-Factor. Buried in local funerals, family drama and each other's hopes and fears, their story explores the lengths we’ll go to escape small-town life — and what happens when our dreams crash headlong into reality.

“Surreal, Unpredictable and utterly hilarious"
- Sinners Reviews
“A true outsider art freak comedy Mouse-terpiece”
- Fernyhough Arts Review
“Surreal, ridiculously funny, and strangely good natured in its morbid assessment of life, death and the pursuit of dreams, the small (but perfectly formed) cast navigate more emotional hairpins than a winning X-Factor story. Guaranteed to produce much laughter and perhaps One Single Tear.”
