About
Meet best mates Mohsen and Kash, are gearing up for the biggest night of their lives – Jess Denver's pool party. But there's just one problem: they can't swim.
Fuelled by halal Haribo and chicken wings, the pair throw themselves in at the deep end, tackling cramped cubicles and cold showers as they learn how to be at one with the water.
Winner of a Fringe First and the 2022 BBC Popcorn Writing award, Brown Boys Swim embarks on a national tour following sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre.
There'll be a post-show Q&A with the cast after the performance on Monday 9 October.
