Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, Octopus is packed with off-kilter punchlines, soaked with octopus facts and sprinkled with ill-advised home-made costumes. This many-tentacled show reveals what’s really on Louise’s mind.

“I’ve rarely been so thoroughly entertained by a show while also leaving with so much to think about. The costume, the dancing, the physical comedy, the audience participation, the thought-provoking insights - I loved it all. Octopus is meaningful without ever losing its sense of fun. Fabulous, clever and completely joyful. An absolute must-watch at the Fringe!”

“Hilarious, sharp, and ridiculous, Octopus oozes intelligent jokecraft, arresting observations and unabashed silliness in perfect equipoise. Louise is the best company for an hour that passes by jet propulsion, seductively escalating towards its satisfying and urgently important conclusion. ⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Not only did this show make me laugh out loud but as a clinical psychologist, mum of a boy and girls and woman on the planet who likes to think I know myself pretty well, I left with new insights and reflections that I’d never even considered… I left feeling seen, empowered and feeling good from all the laughs.”

“The show is clever and poignant underneath all the comedy. It has quite a lot to say about men, masculinity and the things we don't always talk about, but it never feels preachy.”

“I LOVED this show-Louise is hilarious. Octopus is brilliantly structured and is so varied and it is all brilliant.  We were howling with laughter-you must go to see this fabulous show.”
