Why I Stuck a Flare Up My Arse for England
Why I Stuck a Flare Up My Arse for England is a smash-hit play by Alex Hill, that lit up the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 and went on to tour the UK and play internationally, picking up lots of awards including the Best Theatre & Physical Theatre Award at Adelaide Fringe 2024 along the way.
This award-winning one-man show is a football love letter - funny, heartfelt and explosive - diving into fandom, masculinity and mental health. Follow Billy as he recounts the events in his life that led him to sticking a flare up his bum at England's Euro 2020 Final against Italy.
"Sports, comedy and theatre fans should all find something to marvel at in UK writer and performer Alex’s Hill’s exuberant, hilarious and soul-searching exploration of football fanaticism and friendship." ★★★★★ The Advertiser
