F**king Legend starring Olly Hawes to play the Riverside Studios in London

Edinburgh Fringe hit show F**king Legend is coming to the Riverside Studios next month.

Written by and starring Olly Hawes (Absolute Truth About Everything), F**king Legend will play the Riverside Studios from 13 November to 21 December 2024.

F**king Legend picks apart the consequences of modern masculinity, and is a sometimes hilarious, sometimes painful critique of the everyday white, middle-class cis man and the consequences of late capitalism.

The show is an experiment in storytelling, blurring the lines between fiction and non-fiction, and between a man playing a part or a man making a confession.

Writer Olly Hawes said in a statement: “This show is both an emotional, unthinking splurge and a painstakingly crafted response to the toxicity of our culture. I look at the world and can’t work out whether to laugh until my sides split, cry until I’m dead or quietly try to make the few things I have influence over better. I want people to come and laugh and cry and feel anger – but most of all be moved, stirred, provoked. I’ve tried to make something that’s trashy but intellectual, silly but serious, and thought provoking – because it feels like to properly respond to the world we’re in today, it has to be all those things.”

F**king Legend is running at the Riverside Studios from 13 November to 21 December 2024.

Now playing at Riverside Studios is Kim’s Convenience and French Toast, both playing to 26 October. Coming up is The Unseen from 15 November to 14 December 2024; Dolly Parton musical Here You Come Again from 10 December 2024 to 18 January 2025; and Second Best starring Asa Butterfield from 24 January to 22 February 2025.
