We're Not Getting A Dog* *A Story Largely Not About Dogs

A work-in-progress performance of a new storytelling show by Sam Freeman (Every Little Hope You Ever Dreamed, Every Time I Close My Eyes).

A couple running through the rain to catch a bus.

A man staring at a blank laptop screen in desperation.

A woman opening an envelope to find a photo inside.

A new house on a new street with new neighbours.

A roughly sixty minute new storytelling show**, read from a little black book, by a scruffy, bearded, glasses-wearing man in a red check shirt and black jeans who does not own a pressure washer.  

**This show has minimal references to dogs.

Sam Freeman is a writer, director and stand-up comedian, originally from Leeds, he grew up in Scarborough before training in York and Holland. His work combines storytelling and whimsical northern comedy that feels like an live Audible recording with echoes of Richard Curtis and Daniel Kitson. His produced plays include Floating, Revenge and Three Cheers For HRH and he directed Chris Chibnall’s (Broadchurch) footballing comedy for Unity Theatre.
