​Featuring a host of original songs ranging from audaciously pun-filled to downright saucy, Comma Sutra explores what it means to be a language nerd in an age of text speak and emoji. Improvised poetry, wickedly funny grammar lessons and rants about quotation marks are all part of Fitzhardinge’s journey towards discovering why she is so smitten with the written.

Comma Sutra is an exceptional production with immaculate presentation, quick-witted and sharp comedy, a gripping story and breathtaking music. Fitzhardinge’s punchlines persistently stick the landing (figuratively) and leave you in fits of laughter (literally).”

Ever thought about how nine is an upside-down six?
Patrick has. More than anyone has.
Patrick is changing the number nine, but she needs your help.
Patrick will convince you that we need to change the number nine, show you what we're changing it to, and tell you exactly how we're going to do it while delivering an exhausting, cry-laughing comedy experience you will think about every time you see an upside down 6.
Don't be on the wrong side of history. Embrace The New Nine.
