It’s always been mad in Liverpool on a Friday night. You can find sex, drugs and karaoke. Find the world in one city. Find your youth and lose a friend amidst the hens and stags.
As he waits for his blind date with Cindy, lonely heart Frank has no idea of the mad, bad and deadly dangerous rollercoaster ride he’s about to get on. The woman Frank most desires keeps eluding him and what’s more his night out is keeps getting weirder and weirder as he sways from Cindy’s jealous ex-boyfriend Vince to nightclubs, emergency wards and a karaoke song or two along the way. By the end Frank has truly had one wild night out in Liverpool he’ll never forget.
“You know a true comic playwright has arrived when the audience starts laughing before the actors tell the jokes”.
