Jack’s Ashes
Thu 5 Sep“163 to win – we’ve got this!”
Former professional cricketer Jack gives his team talk, but wickets fall like a ticking time bomb and the anecdotes from the ashes of his career prove less than inspirational…
As Jack addresses the audience as his ‘team’ so Jack’s Ashes offers a humorous insight into the mental frailties that can cloud the mind and the distractions that can lead to ruin.
Performed by comedy veteran Tim Marriott (BBCTV’s Brittas Empire) and developed in consultation with professional sports bodies and mental health charities, ‘Jack’s Ashes’ engages through humour to reduce stigma and promote conversation about mental fitness. Performances are followed by a ‘fire circle’ talk back led by professional counsellor Annabel Fen Marriott offering practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety.
The show features multiple recorded contributions from the cricket world including England cricketer and Sky Sports’ legend David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, as well as Aussie all-rounder Shane Watson, commentator Robert ‘Crash’ Craddock and Toby from @CricketDistrict.
So don’t be caught out, get on the front foot and score your tickets before they run out…
