Military service in Singapore, Sondheim, and family history intertwine to determine why Theo feels so ugly, and whether it matters that they do?

Theo feels pretty... sometimes.
Theo feels ugly... a lot.

Pretty Ugly is about what happens when Theo decides enough is enough. Blending song and story, this intimate, conversational solo show tackles those pesky inner-demons we all encounter: the ones that tell us we're not attractive enough. 

Expect an eclectic array of your favourite musical theatre songs reinterpreted (dare we say, queered?!), plenty of laughs (and potentially tears) as Theo charts his adolescence in Singapore and his adventures around the world - including as an immigrant in the UK. 

Fresh off sold-out performances in Singapore, Sydney and at Sprint Festival 2026, this 'taut, tender show that grapples with big themes' (Crystalwords) returns to Camden People's Theatre for 3 nights only. 

Pricing: £18 (standard); £15 (concession); £12 (students)

Pretty Ugly

From 1970s Bangladesh - to Brick Lane - to the post-9/11 present, The Only Brown Deaf Man in England follows Rajkumar, a Deaf Bengali amateur batsman, as he navigates the chaos, comedy and contradictions of life in Britain - one ball at a time.

All performances are in BSL with spoken English voiceover and English captions.
