Description

A show about socks and sex and loving someone even though they're quite annoying, and buying tat on holiday, and fear of death, and cognitive dissonance, and whether or not it's an issue that you're watching the world burn and all you can do is try to find meaning in the dancing of the flames, and also is it even possible to be a good man? Olly returns to the Fringe with a one-man, rollercoaster show that cuts to the core of modern masculinity. 'A performer sure to find greatness' (AYoungerTheatre.com).

Shows that are different are what I enjoy most about the Fringe. This was brilliant. The audience were absorbed in the performance throughout, and the ending tied it all together. It was a very thought provoking piece of theatre; well written and great delivery.

Olly is a F**King Legend in this action packed and explosive show, with buckets of energy keeping us all glued to his every movement. One thing you can take away from this show is the fact than the internal monologue of a mans brain is ever so complicated.
Definitely worth a watch in Edinburgh this year.

Ollie Hawes paints at times a disturbing picture of the rollercoaster that is modern masculinity but in doing so brings a freshness and intelligence that gives it a palatable edge. F**king Legend will challenge your cognitive dissonance.

This is a show that dares to push boundaries, both in its content and its form, marking Olly as a distinctive voice in contemporary theatre and one to watch in the genre of solo-performance.
