CatGPT - Unhinged


Includes a 15 min interval

CatGPT is the mostly true story of one man's heroic attempts to bring back to life his beloved dead cat Lentil. For Welshman Robin Wealleans the kitty's earthly demise was just the start of version 2.0 and a long quest to reboot his cat with tech and creativity. The unhinged story of how he succeeded against all odds with sophisticated robotics, sensors, complex AI and visuals has to be seen to be believed. After a disasterous freezer mishap, his cat is now back in control, reimagined as L3NT1L and with all the augmented features a cat would love, from laser pointers to a meow synthesiser and minibar. The unlikely duo first hit the catwalk at Edinburgh Fringe in 2024, followed by a sellout interactive UK Xmas tour and recent quirky shows in Tokyo. CatGPT now take their Welsh feline mysteries to the only Welsh bar in the southern hemisphere. L3NT1L and his hapless human tour in an improvised and interactive show with 2.6 million possible permutations, bizarre merchandise and even a comic. Meanwhile the sinister Lentil Industries appears to have a different agenda. Expect a hilarious show about loss, neurodiversity and trying to make sense of it all. Along the way you will learn about cats, determination and the pros and cons of AI.

"This show is one of the best things of any kind that I've ever seen. You'll never even know you're alive until you understand reality can easily accommodate something like this" - Martin Rowson, The Guardian
