You Shouldn't Have

*You Shouldn't Have* is Jazz's first full length solo show and features songs featured originally on his YouTube channel.

The plot revolves around Jazz Emu trying to regain his career after a faux pas in Finland.

> *In 2016, Jazz Emu played the biggest gig he'd ever landed at the Helsinki Velodrome. But during his between-song patter, he carelessly insulted one of his biggest fans. What he said doesn't bear repeating, but let's say the Scandinavian Goblin community may never look him in the eye again. Now he's back to clear his name and regain his former glory. Will he be able to surmount the insurmountable and get every single person in the world to like him? Or is it time for him to face the music?*

Originally a limited run at Chiswick Playhouse (2–6 March 2022), and additional performances at The Gilded Balloon: Patter Hoose at Edinburgh Festival Fringe (8–21 August 2022).

The show drew attention of director Adam Flynn, who assisted Henderson in making it a full show. Initial previews were performed at the Jersey Arts Centre at the Theatre of Jersey, and later performed at a sell out run of shows the Main Theatre at the Soho Theatre (7–22 December 2022), which received glowing reviews.

* *The Telegraph* gave it a 5 star review : "*A musical and comic bull's-eye from marvellously ridiculous star-in-the-making Jazz Emu"*
* *The Guardian* reviewed the show as "A joyful hour with a delusional musical star"
* *The Times* 5 star review proclaimed "I may just have found my new favourite comedian… I barely stopped laughing for a whole hour.."
* *Time Out* review: "This one man show has it all"
* *The List* 5 star review: "Fantastically funny and ferociously funky master of musicianship and lover of a certain type of towel"

Due to this initial success, further dates were added at the Soho Theatre in February and April 2023.

He later brought the show back to Jersey Arts Centre in April 2023. and is taking the show back to the Edinburgh Fringe for 11 performances in August 2023.

In Control - Lyrics:

I've got my left foot by my right

And when I move them I keep it tight

I've got my eyes locked in my sight

And I want it

I've got my arms swinging by my sides

And when I spin them they synchronize

My every single movement is harmonised

And I flaunt it

I'm in control

I'm the kinda guy that comes out out on top

I'm in control

There's nothing in the world that can throw me off

I'm in control

. . .

I see you're stunned by a guy like me

How does he ooze that authority?

You gotta take me seriously....

, . .

You see I always get it right

That's why I'm always in the spotlight

It's no surprise that you feel jealous of me

Cause everything is going so well for me

By the look on my face you can clearly see

My *(undeniable)*\* proficiency

I'm in control

(he's totally in control)

I'm in control

(he's totally in control)

I'm in control

(he's totally in control) ,,,

\*this word could be something else as it was unintelligible

The Moon - lyrics

> And all the empty objects I've thrown in my own way

> To clear the way for you.

> Count the circles
