Glove Fulla Vaseline by Andrew Brooke

8pm Friday & Saturday

For thirty years Andrew attempted to teach John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' to disengaged secondary school students with varying degrees of failure. Join him as he brings the trauma of GCSE English classes vividly to life with a little musical help from George, Lennie and the gang.

With sold out shows in Brighton, London, Wells and Cardiff, Andrew invites you to join him in his quest to avoid explaining the meaning of ‘glove fulla vaseline’ to classes of feral teenagers.

Audience praise from 2025 Brighton Fringe Festival

"A wonderful show; inventive with very funny songs, laugh-out-loud anecdotes. His portrayal of Curley's Wife will live long in the memory. Highly recommended"

"A funny, informative and musical performance."

"Well funny throughout! A rich mix of stories and song from a likeable performer.’"

All tickets include a £1 admin charge

Approx running time 75 minutes (no interval)
