IN BED WITH MY BROTHER is Nora Alexander, Dora Lynn and Kat Cory: three best mates based in Exeter, London and Margate, UK, making work together for over a decade. Their collaborations span theatre, performance, art, cabaret, music and nightlife, blending chaos, tongue-in-cheek humour and high-octane theatrical spectacle.​

​

IN BED WITH MY BROTHER created their first show, TWINKLE TOES as part of the New Diorama and Ideas Tap Emerging Company programme. The show premiered at Brighton Fringe in 2015 to a one-star review from The Argus, claiming 'the audience were baffled'. 

​​​

In 2016, IN BED WITH MY BROTHER became the graduate company in residence at Exeter's Bike Shed Theatre, where they began to develop their second show, WE ARE IAN. After try outs at the Pleasance in London, WE ARE IAN received the Pleasance’s Charlie Hartill Fund for Theatre in 2016. WE ARE IAN is about Dora's step-dad Ian, and recounted his experience of the glory days of the illegal rave movement. The show sold out two Edinburgh Fringe runs, received critical acclaim and was nominated for a Total Theatre Award for an Emerging Company, won the Brighton Fringe Award for Excellence and went on to tour the UK, Australia, Prague and Hong Kong. 

​

TRICKY SECOND ALBUM, notably IN BED WITH MY BROTHER's third show, was both an album and a performance, inspired by The KLF’s stunt of burning a million pounds, it was created with music producers and long-term collaborators Brain Rays and Parish News. A cult hit, it premiered and self-destructed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019 after only 17 shows. The show won a Total Theatre Award for Innovation, Experimentation and Playing with Form, and received a host of extreme responses from audiences and critics and prompted Dominic Cavendish, theatre critic at The Telegraph to set fire to a copy of his own newspaper. The show ceased to exist as a theatre show but continued to tour as a DJ set until 2021, with a mix including original tracks from the show featured in Mix Mag. 

​

In 2021, IN BED WITH MY BROTHER won the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award with their show PRIME_TIME, a murder fantasy about killing Jeff Bezos with weapons bought from Amazon.com. It premiered at the Barbican in Autumn 2021. Time Out called it “punk as fuck”. The Spectator called it a “puerile rant”. An interview with IN BED WITH MY BROTHER about the show was published in Dazed magazine.

​​​

IN BED WITH MY BROTHER is a part of arty party collective DOOMSCROLL, creating silly, high-concept, high-bpm raves. Since 2020, they’ve curated nights and presented their hyper performance-led DJ sets across the UK including Latitude, Wilderness, Bangface Weekender, Experimentica at Chapter Arts Centre, Lost Horizon and Five Miles, Fear of Going Out Festival and were the Yard Theatre’s Nightlife Residents in 2023. 

 

IN BED WITH MY BROTHER have created a number of one-off performances, happenings and cabarets over the years including 'BITS of IN BED WITH MY BROTHER', 'RETRAINED' a commission from Camden People's Theatre, re-opening the theatre after Covid-19 restrictions, 'GHOSTS B2B', a one night stand DJ set/performance at The Royal Court upstairs. 

​​

In 2025, IN BED WITH MY BROTHER returned to the Edinburgh Fringe with PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD,  inspired by the best/worst band of all time, The Shaggs, playing to sold-out audiences, extended runs and critical acclaim. The show won a Fringe First Award, Fest and Skinny Magazine’s Bestie Award and the company was chosen as one of The Stage Fringe Five.

​

IN BED WITH MY BROTHER are now touring PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD, with initial tour dates announced here.
