"Bad things happen to a dolphin’s private parts, a seagull gets devoured and his grandmother flies a rocket."

When Simmons begins his set he signposts it with “This is going to get weird” – and that it does. Playing the role of a muesli bar salesman, out for a windsurf one afternoon he ends up lost at sea. The ensuing hour is a wacky journey into how the psyche deteriorates from bravado to madness over the course of 14 days. Along the way bad things happen to a dolphin's private parts, a seagull gets devoured and his grandmother flies a rocket – just some of his ridiculous to manic tangents.
