StammerMouth: CHOO CHOO!
Get onboard the runaway train in this playful and interactive show exploring intrusive thoughts and OCD.
‘What if you hurt Duncan? What if you did? I bet you could. I bet you could do it. I bet you will.’
CHOO CHOO! (Or Have You Ever Thought About Pushing Someone Off a Train Platform (‘Cos I Have)) is a show about a misunderstood condition, told by people who know a bit about it.
Silly and surreal, it’s an insight into obsessive compulsive disorder, in equal measures very funny and profoundly moving.
The show was a recipient of The Scotsman’s Fringe First Award in 2023 and The Mental Health Foundation Award in 2023.
StammerMouth is the creative alias for Nye Russell-Thompson and was born out of the
necessity for people to understand how it feels to have a stammer, through self-aware deflective humour, stark minimalism, and audience participation.
