A darkly hilarious, critically acclaimed production that follows Fred, a cloth puppet just trying to live an ordinary life - get a job, find love, be part of society. But with his Puppetry Living Allowance under threat, Fred’s world spirals out of control. How do you hold on to independence when the system pulls the strings?

With biting wit, razor-sharp political satire, and moments of unexpected tenderness, Meet Fred is an unmissable comedy that has resonated with audiences across the globe. Created by award-winning inclusive theatre company Hijinx, the show features a stellar cast of performers with and without learning disabilities and/or autism, whose lived experiences bring depth and authenticity to Fred’s struggle.

Celebrating 10 years of making audiences laugh, gasp, and rethink the world around them, Meet Fred is as urgent and relevant today as ever.
