One summer's day, Ian Hawkins set off from his London flat to walk to his brother's house - in Canterbury, at the other end of the legendary Pilgrims' Way (google King Henry II, Thomas a Becket, and The Canterbury Tales)... a distance of 86 miles in just 72 hours. The one thing Ian didn't have? A good reason why he was doing it in the first place.

Following in the footsteps of kings, paupers, and pilgrims, Ian takes the audience on a quest without a cause as he tried to find an answer to why he's hiking through a heatwave and a thunderstorm, encountering failures, ghosts, and the kindness of strangers along the way. His story and the footpath's history intertwine as he looks back on a life that's been far from ordinary and tries to answer the question: what motivates us to do difficult things?

An acclaimed storyteller and stand up comedian, Ian Hawks has appeared on stage with The Moth, written for the BBC, coached writers and speakers at Netflix, and told stories all over the world. This is the US premiere of his latest show.
