A doofus is either one of three things, Dowdeswell tells us: an eccentric person, a buffoon, or an intriguing object (a ‘thingummy’). In the course of the show, his aim is to make us awash with doofuses of every variety, until we are blue in the face and cradling our aching ribs. Sadly this is just a pipe dream. 
Who is he? He’s not entirely sure. As a child he travelled the world with his French/English parents. When he was fifteen, they divorced and both left Eric to fend for himself. His first language was Dutch and he learned English by watching Eastenders. 
Comedy veteran Sean Hughes delights his audience with a fresh new show that impresses all. 
A sweet and funny, although slightly bizarre piece, Julie Dawn Cole joins Matthew Hardy to lead the audience on a trip down memory lane for all Willy Wonka fans through the medium of dual psychiatric sessions. Latest Reviews

However, it is not without its shining moments.

In the crush of the London Underground carriages, lives intersect like the lines that thread beneath the city. One Under masterfully brings to the forefront the thoughts that capture our imaginations as we sit solemnly waiting for our stops in a subtly and deftly told piece of drama.
