Thou Shalt Sit The F*** Down

20 - 21 Oct 2025

Thou Shalt Sit The F*** Down

"You do whatever makes the clients happy, because that is when you get the tips. And it’s all about the tips."

William Sanderson has seen it all. He travels all over London every weekend entertaining clients. One of the best. He rarely gets phased by anything. And he stays that way by religiously following his 10 Commandments for any party. But everything he thought he knew about himself and his profession gets thrown out the window when he has to train up a handsome new entertainer, fresh out of drama school.

'Thou Shalt Sit The F*** Down' brings together true stories from Ben's experience of being a kid's entertainer for over six years, mixed with the uncanny similarities between one of the oldest professions and this relatively new profession. Be prepared for the awkward, the outrageous and the outright unbelievable world of kid’s entertainment that you never knew existed in our very city.
