In partnership with SICK! Festival 2026
IN BED WITH MY BROTHER is on stage for their three-act biopic – Philosophy Of The World.
Ridiculed then revered, The Shaggs defied categorisation. IN BED WITH MY BROTHER attempt to wrangle their story into a three-act biopic. Part tribute act, part feminist reclamation, part rambling flight of ideas.
PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD is about fate, freewill, power, patriarchy, band t-shirts, daddy issues, and the best worst album ever made. It’s about who holds the power to define you – who gets to say whether you’re a legend or loser – who owns the right (and the rights) to tell your story.
