LEGALISE KISSING
A genre-defying mix of stand-up, surreal storytelling, and live techno anthems, Legalise Kissing is a punk-clown manifesto on love, identity, and modern chaos. Writer for Netflix’s The Gentlemen and now Apple TV, award-winning comedian Theo Mason Wood blends razor-sharp wit with absurdist theatricality, delivering a show that’s as heartfelt as it is unhinged.

Winner of the Berlin New Stand-Up Award and semi-finalist in the West End New Act of the Year competition, Theo has performed across Europe, most recently at the prestigious Moth Club in London.
