Cyril Blake’s sell-out hit from the Edinburgh Fringe explores the myth, legend and legacy of James Bond.

Stephen has always wanted to be James Bond. He's got a tux, a fancy watch and he shakes everything he drinks. But, is this a good idea? Bond is a misogynist dinosaur, right?

Journey through 60 years of Bond and 30 years of Stephen as we find out if he can fulfil his father's idea of masculinity without becoming toxic.

Packed with references for Bond superfans, but at heart it's also a story about Stephen's experience growing up - trying to bridge the generation gap with his Dad. It's a touching story and very relatable for anyone who has ever had an awkward conversation with their Dad/father figure.

This sell-out hit is directed by nine-time nominee and two-time OFFIE winner Matthew Parker and stars Cyril Blake as Stephen.  

Blake’s brilliance shines, seamlessly blending the lines between performer and character.
