Description

Seamas Carey ('the comic causing uproar in Cornwall' (Guardian)) makes his Scottish debut with the controversial, hilarious and provocative comedy show Help! I Think I’m A Nationalist; directed by Agnieszka Blonska and produced by Impossible Producing. Cornwall is at a tipping point. House prices soar, the population shifts, tensions rise. Could closing borders be the answer? Where’s the line between pride and power? What happens when it all goes too far? Seamas needs help. He needs your help. 'This small show moves deep rooted mountains – silly, smart and deliciously challenging' (Emma Rice).
