Bad Thing is an absurdist clown comedy show from Bonnet Dog, blending physical comedy, surreal theatre and joyful chaos into one gloriously unhinged hour.

A Bad Thing’s Show. A Dog’s Story. A Simon’s Mistake. Few creatures are so unknown, yet strike so much confusion into the hearts of YOU. Join Bad Thing on a silly, absurd journey through the unknown: Sing with the Giblets. Dip in the piccalilli. Discover what Simon says... and much, much more.

Weston-super-Mare’s Bonnet Dog makes comedy shows. A house style of silly absurd shows that likes to tickle the bounds of reality. Previous shows include A Knight Of Terror, Making Plans For Hugo, and frequent makers of all things weird in From The Mud Cabaret.

As for Rik, you know that hunched-over character in the pub he plays in The Comic Strip Presents.... Episode "Strike"? It's that but more

“The performances by Joe Brooks, George Jacobs and Will Jones shine through the grim, slime-covered world they have created for us. It’s their commitment to the characters and their performance, their revelling in the ugliness... They can’t hide just how much they are enjoying bringing it to life.”-Theatrefest Review

“They are amazing at creating absurdist, comedy, which is all neatly wrapped up in an hour of mayhem, mess and hysterical laughter.” - Audience Member on Bonnet Dog

“Bonnet Dog has something really special; they manage to make their performance anarchic, hilarious and slightly edgy as you never quite know what will happen next.” - A Seagull Reviews
