Yard Act - The Overload
For fans of: Warmduscher, Do Nothing, Sports Team
Released: 21st January
What the critics say: "‘The Overload’ lives up to its hype with flying colours. Brilliantly constructed to unfurl like some sordid soap opera of Brexit Britain, it brims with vignettes populated by instantly-recognisable caricatures of the now." - DIY
