Presented by In Bed With My Brother
Ridiculed then revered, The Shaggs defied categorisation. In Bed With My Brother attempt to wrangle their story into a three-act biopic. Part tribute act, part feminist reclamation, part rambling flight of ideas.
Philosophy Of The World is about fate, freewill, power, patriarchy, band t-shirts, daddy issues, and the best worst album ever made. It’s about who holds the power to define you - who gets to say whether you’re a legend or loser - who owns the right (and the rights) to tell your story.
Featuring questionable mime, high-intensity dance sequences, awkward crowd work, stage combat, cheap wigs, jump scares, philosophising and a well trained actor, In Bed With My Brother twists Rock ‘n’ Roll history into a sticky, sweaty, searing rebellion.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “IBWMB have made a visceral, uneasy but hilarious work of performance art that is both high-brow and accessible, provocative, honest and intellectual. There is no-one quite like them right now, but it feels like the beginning of a movement.” - British Theatre Guide
