The Line Up 

Flinger by Steve Wallis

I’m a Liverpool performer and dog-walker who came to a clown workshop at the Unity last year. I left the workshop with 5 minutes of material and am now trying to pad that out  grow that to 10 minutes. During the workshop it emerged, that I was mainly trying to find out whether I could make a dog-ball-flinger look a bit like a flamingo. You be the judge!

Feed The Scousers by Jakob Taylor

‘Feed The Scousers is a playful postulation on Scouseness as both a cultural identity and way of being. Come with me, as I attempt to stage and represent a true celebration of the city of Liverpool and its inhabitants, Scousers. Exploring such through my own lived experience and historicity’

Jakob is a theatre maker and dramaturg from Liverpool. Following the conclusion of his master’s studies in London he is hoping to build upon the foundation of his academic studies and develop his creative practice starting with the re-imagining of his final performance piece ‘Feed The Scousers’

Casu Martzu by Simone Tani

A clown’s journey through a world of maggot-infested blue cheese. Featuring Teatro Pomodoro’s Simone Tani and live music by Marco Riola, this duo of Sardinians living in Liverpool brings laughter, tunes, and a taste of their magical Mediterranean island to the Unity Theatre.

The Fanny Diaries by Erin McDaid

Have you ever wondered what your fanny would say if she could talk? Would she be pleased and proud of your antics? Or would she give you a stern talking to? ‘The Fanny Diaries’ is an original comedy, following twenty-four-and-a-half-year-old Camilla’s journey, as she tackles the trials and tribulations of the hell that we call womanhood. If that isn’t enough, dealing with a whirlwind of failed romances and unsatisfactory sexual interactions, as well as facing her upcoming smear test, which leads to unexpected news, could all send her spiralling.

Seafloor by Jake Angerer

A monologue about a young man and a baby pigeon (or – an extract from a work in progress by a very slow writer).

Jake is a part time writer. Some of his work has appeared in the Raven Review, Creepypod and The Last Line. He enjoys writing horror.

Ghost Town

When Darren takes on a dare to sneak into the haunted hospital, he vanishes without a trace. Now, his mates are on a mission to figure out what happened. As they follow spooky clues and things start getting weirder, tensions rise. Is the hospital really haunted? Will they find Darren?

With tourists, buskers and scallies causing chaos – plus a rogue seagull and a Greggs sausage roll thrown into the mix – Ghost Town is spooky, comedy thriller, written and directed by Paislie Reid, in collaboration with the brilliant young voices of 20 Stories High Youth Theatre.

Created as part of the Cities Exchange, a collaboration between 20 Stories High, Beyond Face, Company Three and Zoo Co.

Hairy B*stard

Winner of “Best Comedic Performer” and “Best Original show’’ at Liverpool Fringe 2024, Molly Farquhar is making her Edinburgh Fringe debut with her solo show, Hairy B*stard, this summer – but before she heads up north, she’s previewing the show for ONE NIGHT ONLY here at the Studio Beyond! 

Meet Magenta. She’s a 20-something icon, who lives in her pink filled world. She’s confident, creative, and also incredibly hairy – particularly on her face. Today she’s going out on a date- perhaps he’ll be the love of her life!! OR…perhaps he’ll just stare at her moustache. But hey, at least she’ll get a free dinner out of it and a story to tell her therapist (her dog) about. Its time to pop a pill (birth control), wax ya eyebrows and throw on a primarni special dress, because tonight – this hairy bastard is hitting the town.

This is a semi autobiographical play, all centered around the writers struggle with Hirsutism and PCOS. With lots of interactive and comedic moments, this one woman show will leave the audience questioning what it truly means to be ‘normal’.

This Play is heading to Edinburgh Fringe this summer, and Molly is the recipient of Ed Fringe’s ”Keep it Fringe Fund” 2025.

Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You

4:00pm & 7:30pm
A never-ending telethon. A revolution stuck on hold.

In collaboration with Ugly Bucket, members of RAWD have been exploring the history of disabled protest & questioning the future of activism. The result is Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You — a dynamic spectacle of clowning, sharp satire, music, and physical storytelling. Rooted in the spirit of the Block Telethon protests but reimagined through abstract form and modern perspectives, this show moves between two surreal worlds: The glittering illusion of telethon and the unruly power of protest. At its centre is one character’s journey from polite obedience to unapologetic disruption — from receiver to caller.

Act One by RAWD Theatre Porto. Act Two by RAWD Unity Theatre.

31 disabled performers. One stage. Inescapable truths and a call for change.
