FINGER-CLICKING-GOOD. The Swiss premiere On Your Bike by Joe Venobel and Ben James is an award-winning, five-star, original musical about love, labour and leftover pizza. Delivering food you don’t get to eat is hungry work. Outside a chicken shop, a group of delivery riders wait for orders, trying to figure out life and love while they do. Threatened by nosy landlords, angry exes, and even their own employer Eatsaroo, they realise they have to group together and stand up for themselves. But fighting a billion-dollar algorithm isn’t that easy.

Everyone is welcome – first timers and experienced karaoke singers alike! The bar will be open a half hour before the show begins. If you plan to sing it would be helpful if you could send Robb (robb@captivatebaern.ch) an email with either a link to your backing track on youtube or the backing track file itself. If you’re not so keen on planing ahead, just come along and we’ll find you a backing track on the fly.
