Bad Things
Bonnet Dog

A Bad Thing’s show.

A Dog’s Story.

A Simon’s mistake.

We cautiously invite you to an experience like no other; an exhibition of the strangest folklore creature in existence… The Bad Thing.

Few creatures are so unknown, and strike so much confusion into the hearts of men, women, non-binaries, old people, babies, baby old people and of course, Dogs. But do not be fooled for lack of superstition. Sometimes, a thing must be seen to be believed. Bonnet Dog’s latest show - a surreal comedy about identity, loyalty, and friendship - is wild, mad, hilarious, touching, and groundbreaking. But don’t just take our word for it! Here’s what our audiences had to say… “You think it’s going one way and it completely flips!”

“Jaw hurts as I laughed too much.”

“A wild, hilarious fever dream of playful horror.”

Join Bad Thing on a journey through the unknown, in this show that defies taste and reason. Hear the ethereal melodies of the giblets. Spot a wild jellybabyfish.

Discover what Simon is actually saying, and much, much more…
