Set entirely on a bed, Boy attempts to pursue his dreams of becoming a stand-up comedian, travelling the world and finding true love, all whilst confined to his bedroom's four walls. We see him unpacking items from a suitcase and reminiscing on each trinket until, slowly, the room becomes a depression-pit, bed-rotting mess. The story unravels to reveal an intricate web of lies, pointing to an unnoticed mental health crisis. Blending stand-up, monologue, music and dance, award-winning performer Ben Donaghy makes his Edinburgh Fringe Debut!
