2014 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Someone is crapping in your oatmeal. If you're losing, someone is probably doing it to you.

Neil Yaniky, a born loser, suspects his "yugly" sister Winky to be his metaphorical oatmeal crapper. Spurred on by self-help mantras, erotic fantasies, and dreams of inner peace, Neil returns home to confront his sister.

Now is the time for him to win.
