About olives & blowjobs

“I was born green because of Meconium aspiration, that's when the newborn inhaled amniotic fluid whilst it was being birthed. It’s another way of saying I ate my own shit” Olives and Blowjobs is a new coming of age one man show written and performed by Ollie Maddigan. Taken from tragic and comedic memories from his life, Olives and Blowjobs is the story of a 15 year old boy who just wishes he could be a man. After the sudden death of his mother a boy is forced to change schools and move in with his, until that point, absent father who he knows little about. In a hopeless attempt to stay sane he decides that the only way to move forward is to try and pursue change and finally getting a real girlfriend. Like most things in his life, it does not go to plan. A show full of grief, hope, olives and the occasional blowjob, this story is a touching depiction of true grief in early adulthood.
