“I don’t have a drink problem. Drink has a me problem”
– Craig Ferguson.
Everyone has heard of the 27 Club. In July 2018, two months shy of his 28th birthday, Callum Hughes was nearly added to that list.
Join the acclaimed writer and performer on a journey from a small Oxfordshire town to deep in the heart of Texas 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; exploring life, family, theatre, 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.
