RAW! ASMR

"Regardless of your knowledge of ASMR, you’ll enjoy this performance" – Olivia Wright, Rat World Magazine

ASMRtist Letitia Lickkit can help you discover your Tingle Immunity! This is a new fruity comedy about ASMR by award-winning theatre-maker Amy Atkins. It’s comedic anarchy. It’s a celebration of the beauty, relaxing nature, and comforting intimacy of ASMR videos. It explores the silly and wild side of the phenomenon, too. ASMR can take itself a bit too seriously! Do you agree? Yes, you do!

ASMR — Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response — refers to the scientifically recognised ‘tingling’ sensation some people experience from seeing or hearing certain ‘triggers.’ Triggers are often whispering, the tapping of wood, the crinkling of paper, or attentively executed ‘boring’ tasks such as preparing vegetables. It’s a phenomenon that has seen millions of videos created for YouTube with billions of views.

Award-winning theatre-maker Amy Atkins takes her most loved ASMR videos and adapts them into live theatre with the help of her ASMRtist persona Letitia Lickkit.

Prepare your brain for Letitia Lickkit’s live tingle-inducing spectacular organised chaos!

"It is ridiculous, it is gonzo and it is very funny" – Tim George, Theatre Scenes

"Letitia Lickkit... is an endearing-yet-slightly-terrifying creature" – Olivia Wright, Rat World Magazine

“It’s Atkins likeability and cheekiness that carries the show – I feel rested that despite the show's unconventional nature she’s there to explore with us and not at us” – Katie Hill, Art Murmurs
