American musical comedian Caitlin Cook is set to return to London's Soho Theatre this June with her critically acclaimed show "The Writing On The Stall" following a successful run at last year's Edinburgh Fringe.

The innovative production, which transforms bathroom graffiti into original musical numbers, will play at the West End venue from 4th-7th June at 7:15pm, following two performances at Brighton's Komedia on 31st May and 1st June.

Cook's unique comedy creation literally unfolds in a public bathroom setting, taking audiences on a journey through irreverent, poignant and often outrageous messages found scrawled on toilet walls. Londoners who attended her previous sold-out shows in the capital might already be familiar with some of the production's more outlandish elements, including what promoters describe as "slingshotted underwear, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick (complete with spurs!)".

"After building bits and pieces of this show for years at past fringes and in front of UK audiences, it was so incredibly rewarding to return to a sold out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and seven sold out shows in London this summer," Cook said. "I can't wait to bring it back to the prestigious Soho Theatre."

The Oxford-educated performer has garnered significant praise from comedy heavyweights, with SNL's Michael Che simply advising punters to "Go see this show," while David Cross called it "inventive and hilarious."

"The Writing on the Stall" was named a New York Times Critic's Pick, and its accompanying studio album has garnered over 50 million streams. Cook's previous musical comedy albums include "Zinger-Songwriter" and "Betty Pitch."

Tickets for the Soho Theatre run are available now
