You just f--ked up. Now what? Sometimes, f--k-ups are so massive there’s no way back. In this Fringe First winning show poet Hannah Jane Walker and Chris Thorpe examine the poetic guts of mistakes in a bundle of words and strip lighting. F--king up is the truest, funniest, most terrifying moment you can experience. You will make a mistake, maybe you’ll learn from it.
