"A Must See"
-Grant's Mom
Strap in as Actor/Comedian Grant Lancaster takes us on an unbelievable, weeklong race-against-time from the outer reaches of Northern Thailand, as his body fights to keep paralysis at bay. Through a mix of stand-up, stories and scenes- ONE ROOM SLEEP ONE NIGHT investigates the questions: what does it take to survive, when does suffering begin, and how long can humor serve as a vehicle for survival? At its essence, its purpose is to inspire and empower others into a new avenue of approaching pain, discomfort and medical hardship.
A true story down to each detail, ONE ROOM SLEEP ONE NIGHT is a bizarre, poignant examination of the human psyche and the lengths we will go to survive, to keep moving forward despite unbelievable obstacles, and rely on humor as the light that will guide us to safety again. Hilarious and heart-wrenching, audiences have said this show has stayed with them for weeks; evoking laughter, quiet moments of introspection and even tears.

"What a fantastic show. Grant takes you on a wild rollercoaster ride, intercut with footage of his journeys. Brilliantly told story, and even though he’s obviously there, telling it, I was genuinely on the edge of my seat in parts. Not to be missed!?" ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
-David McKinlay
Brilliant show at a time of night when there is a lot of rubbish on! This is an hour we’ll spent with a great guy, epic story and thankfully a satisfactory ending! Go, go, go - guaranteed feel good factor!! -Carol Hunter
One of the best shows I’ve seen this year! Grant is a powerhouse storyteller who instantly hooks you in with his physicality and comedic timing, and captivates you with his depth and heart. This is an incredible show, one that will stay with you long afterwards, and it is the kind of show that makes me love the fringe.
-Caleigh Riordan Davis
By far my favorite show from the fringe!
Amazing slick story telling, as a lover of travel and comedy, this show was had everything I wanted.
With so many moments where you did not know to laugh or cry.
I was fortunate to meet Grant after and talk more about his experiences.
I wish I could give more stars!!!!
-Olly Clarke
Hilarious and startling, with precise physicality and excellent timing. Grant Lancaster gives a high-energy performance and makes the audience feel welcome for a challenging story that he shares with generosity.
-David
Grant successfully combined his well honed acting and comedic skills in this fabulous fast moving production- Absolutely hilarious with a thought provoking message+ a MUST SEE!
-Michael
The most dangerous thing about this show is that it might trick viewers into thinking that all autobiographical one-man shows are as good. Full of physicality and snort-laughing, this man deserves a full house every night.
-Chris Scott
Beautiful show with an amazing message.
An incredible story paired with excellent story telling.
It's the last week of the Fringe, get out and see this show before it's too late!
A must see

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A brilliantly written show. Incredibly heartfelt and entirely based on a true story, literally every detail. Grant is an animated performer and mesmerising to watch. The show is hilarious and will have you in tears of laughter. It will also have you in tears from the beautiful heartfelt moments of self-discovery and self-love. Definitely one you don’t want to miss!! -Monet Marquis
One of the best shows at Fringe! Grant is such a powerful performer, and he's excellent at connecting with the audience. Plus, the physical comedy is hilarious. I was laughing so hard at points that the laugh-tears were streaming! The most amazing part is that it's all a true story, and the visuals coupled with Grant's charisma really bring it home. -Jesse Tender
This show with Grant Lancaster felt so authentic and personal as he relates his solo journey through the hinterland of Thailand suffering an unknown virus and being scorned by most people, including doctors, as he struggles to physically move & speak whilst trying to return home to New York. He captures the helpless horror of the situation with anguish, anger and humour – the latter being the primary theme – resilience and life-sustaining humour. He draws it all together by reflecting on his personal insights and learning through this and his lengthy spell in a New York hospital being diagnosed and treated. A tour de force indeed!! -David
Fabulous, energetic 60 mins of entertainment. I laughed, nearly cried, and whooped. Grant managed to turn a totally awful real life situation into a comedy. He swings from serious monologue to comedic genius, with expert timing and delivery. Go and see Grant, you will not be disappointed. -Gillian Cameron
Awesome show! A wild, epic story told with sincerity, aplomb, and great humor. Grant ran the gamut from embodying big characters to at-the-bar-Birbiglian storytelling to poetic catharsis. Beautiful, hilarious work. I loved his lawyer-disclaimer character, which added a level of self-awareness that really paid off throughout. You’re in great hands with Grant. See this all-too-real story first-hand!- -Rich Templeton
Fantastic show! A rollercoaster of brilliant storytelling, humour and just the right amount of sincerity to make it much more than just a comedy show. Had the audience cracking up throughout, and also had me tearing up a couple of times. A true story, brilliantly performed. Fans of Mike Birbiglia will enjoy it. -Alex Brown
One of my favourite shows I've seen all fringe. Not sure why he's struggled to get people in. The guy has great acting talent which is coupled with an incredible real life story that provides a hilarious, moving and memorable evening performance. Definitely get your tickets!
-Henry Peacock
Funny and engaging story told by a talented comedian / actor. Enjoyed the switches between his own persona and the New York agent character, understand why he has to caveat some of the details in today’s easily offended world, but think it worked anyway and showed off his acting skills well. Interested to see what Grant will do next! Five stars from me.
