Jack's Ashes is a brand-new cricket themed comedy solo show written and performed by Tim Marriott (BBC TV's The Brittas Empire), supported by recorded contributions from the sporting world including legendary commentator David 'Bumble' Lloyd and recent international players such as Shane Watson and Ed Cowan.

"163 to win. We’ve got this lads! Reminds me of the time when I was a lad..."

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 pads up to be the last man in to go out and save the day, ‘Jack's Ashes’ offers a humorous insight into the mental frailties that can cloud the mind and the distractions that can lead to ruin.

Developed in consultation with professional sports bodies and mental health charities, ‘Jack's Ashes’ is designed to engage through humour in order to reduce stigma and promote conversation about mental fitness.

Richly entertaining, engaging, informative and billed as a 'possibly the worst team talk you've ever heard', the play is wrapped in humour, delivered to you directly as Jack's team.
