Quick-witted new comedy play Brainsluts is a sharp and hilarious look at the gig economy, drug trials
and desperate times from gleefully weird and universally charming (Fringe Biscuit) comedian Dan
Bishop. Named after a slang term used for participants of clinical drugs trials and inspired by Bishop’s
own experiences, the show follows five strangers across five Sundays, each of whom have signed up
for a study in the hope of making some quick cash in a frantic search for stability.
