Above a pub in North London, Phil is fighting off panic about his comeback gig.
Once a regular stand-up on Saturday night television, Phil’s back to square one. As he laments his dwindling career, his son Josh arrives believing that his dad harbours a damaging secret. With the gig hour nearing, past misdemeanours catch up with the family. Tonight, Phil’s career might not be the only thing in tatters.
Comic and moving, Broken Lad is a subtle examination of masculinity in distress.
Ages: Suitable for 12+
