Stewart Nutting presents a thoughtful, story-led stand-up show about nihilism, burnout and the strange things we choose to care about anyway.
Blending personal storytelling with quietly absurd observations, the show explores what it means to live in a world that often feels meaningless - and how people try to build purpose from everyday experiences. Moving from an overthinking childhood into adult life, it traces a journey through doubt, awkwardness and the search for something that feels real.
Rather than relying on dense philosophy, the material is grounded in specific, relatable moments - small interactions, habits and fixations that take on unexpected importance when you’re trying to make sense of life. The result is a show that balances humour with reflection, building towards a simple but practical idea: if you can’t solve meaning, you can still choose what to care about.
Thoughtful, slightly bleak and unexpectedly warm, this is stand-up for anyone who has ever questioned the point of everything... and then carried on anyway.
