Eight facts about the octopus, one recurring conclusion. Louise Leigh brings you the show she didn’t plan to make.

A wordsmith trapped in an idiot’s body, Louise has spent the last year researching octopuses. She has also spent the last year on the motorway, and a lifetime surrounded by men. These things are more connected than you think.

Octopus is an hour of mostly stand-up, music and frankly inadvisable home-made costumes, stitched around eight things Louise has learned about her favourite animal.
