Little Swimmers

Little Swimmers is a darkly funny hybrid of theatre, stand-up, and storytelling about one man’s hilariously messy quest to become a father. Battling his own body, a bewildered urologist, and an embarrassing admiration for Tom Cruise, he spirals through fertility clinics, panic, and moments of unnecessary humiliation.What starts as a simple plan to have a baby quickly turns into a chaotic obsession involving babies, spiralling self-doubt, and a growing suspicion that everyone around him became an adult years ago. As the pressure builds, so does his desperation to hold onto control, dignity, and the last scraps of his shrinking masculinity.Absurd, personal, and painfully honest, Little Swimmers is a show about failing bodies, fragile egos, and the strange stories we tell ourselves when life doesn’t go to plan. A funny, raw, and slightly unhinged look at modern manhood, growing up, and what happens when your swimmers refuse to cooperate.Laugh. Wince. Squirm.
