A one-man show about growing up, hero-worship, betrayal and cycling, written and performed by Kieran Hodgson. It was nominated for the 2015 Edinburgh Comedy Award, receiving five star reviews and selling out tours across the country.
It is 2003 and the teenage Kieran is training for the Scouts Holme Valley Mountain Bike Challenge in West Yorkshire. Inspired to 'Just Do It' by his hero Lance Armstrong, a signed poster of the cycling superstar is his most precious possession. So how is he going to cope when he discovers his hero has betrayed him?
Kieran plays all the parts in this heartfelt story recorded in front of an audience by one of the country's up and coming comedy writers and performers. Kieran's recent television work includes playing the role of Ian Lavender in the 大象传媒 2 drama We're Doomed! The Dad's Army Story.
