What happens when your dream job turns into a dead end - and your escape plan involves a boat?
Meet Blodwen: Welsh, wide-eyed, and wondering what the hell happened. With original songs, sharp comedy and a big heart, Escape the Rat Race! follows one woman’s hilarious journey from burnout to breakthrough.
Created and performed by Emily Davis - a former Ysgol y Preseli pupil turned cabaret artist who’s taken her signature character, Blodwen, to stages across the UK - the show is a joyful, satirical, and uplifting hour of musical mischief.
Following a hit run at the Edinburgh Fringe (⭐⭐⭐⭐ Three Weeks, Dark Chat), and direction by Paulus the Cabaret Geek, Escape the Rat Race! is perfect for anyone who’s ever quit a job, questioned their choices — or just needed a good laugh. With music by Andy Campbell Smith, this is a show for the dreamers, the doers, and anyone ready to jump ship.
