After seventeen years underwater, Eric finally lifts the lid on the secret, murky world of 'life beneath the waves' in a Royal Navy Nuclear Submarine. Expect salty tales of men in confinement.

LEAKING SECRETS AND SALTY TALES

How can a person live in a confined environment for 17 years, and remain sane?  How can a group of strangers cope with living under cramped and extreme conditions, physically bound by metal walls and gagged by the Official Secrets Act? Eric knows. He’s a former submariner, and he's about to lift the lid on the big secrets in his Fringe show. 

For the first time, audiences will get an insider's view on the mysterious world beneath the waves in a Royal Navy Nuclear Submarine. Audiences will be transported to an underwater existence where edgy camaraderie, black humour, death and destruction are the closest of bedfellows.

It’s not all scurvy and public masturbation. Eric’s an acclaimed stand-up, so the up-periscope gags also make a welcome appearance.

in a solid collection of gags. Chortle.
