Callum Patrick HughesThis event has now finishedA show about love – love of pubs, love of community, love of family. And a reminder that not everything you love is necessarily good for you.
‘I don’t have a drink problem. Drink has a me problem’. – Craig Ferguson.
Jimi Hendrix. Kurt Cobain. Amy Winehouse. All sadly members of the infamous 27 Club. In July 2018, two months shy of his 28th birthday, Callum Hughes was nearly added to that list.
Join acclaimed writer and performer Callum Patrick Hughes for a riotous, warm and musical journey from a small Oxfordshire town, through Beijing’s Hutongs and the Scottish Highlands, to the bright lights of the ‘Big Smoke' as he attempts to discover who he is without looking through the bottom of the bottle.
Intertwining storytelling and song, Thirst is both a love letter to sobriety and a celebration of all things alcoholic; it’s a joyous and uproarious look at life, family, religion and most importantly the positivity of the pub, and how creating a community under the roof of your nearest watering hole doesn’t have to involve alcohol. So pull up a barstool, order Callum a 0% lager and listen to his incredible story...
