Smiling on the Inside

Content warning [May contain spoilers]

Cambridge Footlight Reese Patel has spent his whole life being told to smile more. But he doesn’t want to. So instead, he’s made it his mission to make everyone else do it. Join him for an hour of dry, deadpan stand-up as he unpacks everything from the genius of Indian toilets to the perils of overthinking. Expect unpredictable twists, absolutely no forced smiles, and jokes about life’s most awkward, absurd, and dark moments.

This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
