Red Biscuit bring their new physical comedy Little Town Blue to Camden People’s Theatre from 23–25 April 2026 at 21:00 as part of the venue’s Spring 2026 season.
Set in the United States, the show follows three high-school seniors on their final hurrah before college. Brad, Chad and Sven set out for one last night of freedom, but their plans are interrupted when a fallen tree blocks their route, forcing them to spend the night in a mysterious haven known as Little Town Blue. At midnight, the seemingly idyllic town reveals a darker side, and the trio must battle their way through the night until morning.
The production is described as a fast-paced hour of physical comedy, taking audiences on a surreal journey through rural America. Red Biscuit specialise in devised stage comedy and also run workshops exploring their performance practice for participants of all ages.
The company previously toured their debut show The Very Well-Fed Caterpillar across the south coast, London, and at Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe festivals.
Little Town Blue is produced by Brightmouth Productions, whose past work includes Readymades (Edinburgh Fringe), When The Fun Stops, Try Again? (UK Tour), That’s Not My Name (Camden People’s Theatre and UK Tour), and HOLY SHT* at Riverside Studios.
The cast includes Murray Burgess, Nathan Charles, Theo Moore, Craig Unadkat and Theodore Vaudrey. Running time is approximately 60 minutes with an age guidance of 16+.
What’s in Grace’s Satchel?
Three American boys. One fallen tree. A town that waits politely until midnight before becoming… concerning.
Grace does not trust places like that.
Little Town Blue sounds, on paper, like somewhere you’d stop for a milkshake and a postcard. The sort of town with bunting, a diner, and a man who says “passing through, are ya?” a touch too knowingly. The moment you’re forced to stay overnight, however, you know you’ve made a terrible life decision.
Brad, Chad and Sven already sound like a trio who thought this would be their big cinematic final night before adulthood. Instead, they’ve accidentally wandered into what appears to be rural America’s answer to a fever dream.
Physical comedy feels like a good fit for this kind of story. You can almost picture doors opening when they shouldn’t, townsfolk appearing out of nowhere, and the boys gradually realising that surviving until morning has become the only sensible objective.
Grace will, naturally, be attending with a torch, a fully charged phone, and a snack for emotional stability.
If the town turns out to be friendly, she’ll apologise.
If not, she’ll be back on the first train out of Camden.
