Asking, Talking, Listening?
Asking. Talking. Listening?
‘I asked about her work, her band, her boyfriend and that dodgy knee she talked about the last time we met.’
‘I told her about work, the band, you and she remembered about my dodgy knee. We had a good chat.’
‘And what’s she been doing?’
‘Oh! She didn’t say.’

Tales from The Wasteland is, in their words, “an improvised post-apocalyptic adventure comedy”. Inspired by the likes of The Last of Us and Fallout, the twisted cast of raiders and mutants craft an absurd plot, inspired by a prompt picked by random and provided by an audience member. The show can go literally anywhere, as there is no pre-prepared characters or plot. Everything is, as you’d expect with improv, made up then and there.
The idea of food as a trend is just perfect. Food is an ever-swinging pendulum of the delicious, playful, and ridiculous, pushed by cultural curiosity and our desire to reinvent or simply rebrand. Look around and you’ll see food trends everywhere. In the basket of the guy queuing beside you at Tesco. The recipe your mate sends you on Instagram. That pasta your college has for lunch. Everywhere.
