Special 241 Ticket Offer for Split Ends at Loco Klub
The offer is running this weekend
Claudia Shnier brings her one-woman show – Split Ends – to the Loco Klub this April.
The tragi-comedy explores themes around obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and coercive control.
For this weekend, a special 2-4-1 ticket offer is running on the Loco Klub website.
Claudia, who has written and directed Split Ends – took inspiration from her own life.
“I started writing the piece with my own truth and experiences at the forefront of my mind, which I found was an incredible way to validate and process my own recollectionsm,” she says.
“As the piece developed, the autobiographical elements were still there, but the reactions I received from audiences really showed me the universality of this story, which influenced how the piece evolved for its next iteration. As I have continued to perform the show, the sharing of this piece and the way it has connected to people from completely different backgrounds has been so enriching.”
The show premiered at Brighton Fringe last year, picking up a nomination for Best New Show 2025. Claudia then took it to the Edinburgh Fringe, Camden Fringe and internationally in Melbourne and Sydney. It’s the first time it’s gone on a regional UK tour of the show.
Following a performance in Edinburgh, a doctor approached Shnier with an invitation to perform to NHS staff. The shows would provoke conversation within the NHS about coercive control and its affects on both physical and mental health.
The story is told through physical theatre, puppetry and video and audio produced by Oscar Gross.

Split Ends will be at the Loco Klub on 28 and 29 April 2026
