The Life and Times of Lionel
Forget About The Dog’s debut show received critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe 2016 and sold out at the end of the first week. What started out as a University experiment, quickly became the benchmark for the company’s style. Lionel was the show that began Forget About The Dog’s journey.
Lionel: an employee passively accepting his own helplessness. He lives with his mum, loves a girl at work and occasionally finds himself on a submarine. Comedy, romance, a pigeon, it has it all.
