Four performers mount four treadmills. What begins as a simple wager between performer and audience becomes a desperate attempt to complete a series of escalating tasks that confront the limitations of the performer's bodies, spirits and minds. This is not an endurance feat. Nor is it performance art. It is an unraveling realisation that the system we participate in is not designed for us.
A delusional and physical celebration of our collective struggle to establish clear boundaries in our lives. 'One of the most frenetically uproarious shows you will ever experience' ★★★★★ (TimeOut).

“It’s sheer bedlam in the most magnificent way, with the very nature of the show meaning the impending disaster trail will unravel wildly differently every night.” Time Out *****
“An admin apocalypse is upon the Pony Cam crew as they tackle arts funding in this unhinged and unmissable Fringe show. If watching an arts grant application’s arcane and inscrutable complexities in real-time – complete with the attached Excel budget spreadsheet – isn’t your idea of a gripping thriller, think again!” SARussellWords *****
