Relax Your Knees is a peek into the anxious brain of an aggressively optimistic dyslexic queer nightmare who was raised by TV and is trying their best. No story, no thru-line - cowards - just Frankie McNair screaming her favourite jokes for fifty-five minutes and having too much fun in a grubby mix of stand-up, non-sequitur sketch comedy and unbridled joy *chef's kiss*
