so Nosa the startup musical is I hope the first musical ever written about living and working in this tech startup so I guess it's kind of about life in a company that has lots of interesting funding lots of dynamic individuals who are trying to solve a problem that maybe we didn't even realize needed solving so I have worked in several startups in London Silicon Valley over the last kind of few years and different kind of roles and I suppose quite predominately in talent roles so in that time you just meet lots of different types of people who work in these kind of up-and-coming companies it was when we first started having a conversation about what we like to make a musical about working in a start-up we were like okay where shall human level be and we kind of talked about the different kind of apps for different things and we were like how about an app that sends smells to different people and we were like well that's our like brand of humour and that's our tone great [Laughter] audiences look forward to they can look forward to really really good songs Luke Liefeld who wrote our music is genuinely an incredible musician and writes beautiful songs that are both funny and also sometimes really moving and lovely so the music is very good it's big power pop with lots of parts we were a small band piano guitar and drums and that band is called Steven the jobs so they all dress like Steve Jobs it's gonna look amazing do you like fart jokes there's a lot of fart jokes [Laughter] working in the startup sector you do see a lot of weird things he's in yeah really odd things I'd say probably one of the hardest things is when the company that currently work out one to beat when we got some of our venture funding we've installed a sauna and we've never used it working in startups there are no rules and it's a great place to get idealistic people together and that's what I love about it but often sometimes with idealism comes a not a lack of self-awareness but sincerity that is very easy to maybe laugh at kindly but also laugh can there be any other exit strategy for Nosa than being brought by Elon Musk his name is Elon Musk he's already a perfumer so Nosa the startup musical will be playing as part of Camden Fringe this summer or guess six to nine August the energy conspirator in Highbury & Islington in London and if all goes well with a following wind the deep breath of air and a big smell a big sniff then we'll go to Edinburgh next year I don't know what that was I'm sorry give bad news Bob yes yes that's it
