That’s right: in a massive F.U. to the Gregorian calendar and our understanding of time, GTI will take to the stage at Hoopla on Friday July 9 2021, two days before the 2020 European Championship Football Final.

Now that the go-ahead has been given for noteworthy events to simply up sticks and move to a different year, the Kennedy assassination has applied to take place in 1971 and the emancipation proclamation has asked to happen every year until they do it properly. Am I right? I should tweet that, right?

GTI will be part of a terrific night, along with BRA and Multiverse

She performs impro all over the place, notably as Christian Adore in two-person musical impro sensation, Dragprov Revue. Francesca is also a West End star; as co-creator (with the unnecessarily gifted Jordan Clarke) – and performer of verbatim musical Public Domain. Their previous collaboration, work-in-progress P.S. I’m a Terrible Person, is currently in development.
