Good Host is back!

Meet Uday, an optimistic call-centre agent in New Delhi who dreams of a British life filled with fish and chips, affluence, and tea with the royals. When an opportunity takes him to England, his glossy YouTube fantasy collides with the reality of working in the UK care sector.

Dial 1 for UK is an award-winning one-man show written and performed by Mohit Mathur, exploring high hopes, digital illusions, migration, and the realities of navigating a new world.
