Chris Rutter: How Do You Know? (WIP)

Becoming a father raises some important questions. Unfortunately, Chris Rutter asks all the wrong ones.How do you know what you're doing? Who decided what constitutes normal behaviour? And who decided that two men can hug at a funeral but not at Screwfix?Following his acclaimed debut as part of the inaugural Stand 5 during the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe, Chris Rutter returns with a brand-new work-in-progress hour.What began as a crisis of confidence in fatherhood has developed into a wider investigation of life's unwritten rules, society's collective blind spots and the extraordinary confidence with which people navigate situations nobody has properly explained.Described as having an ""Alan Partridge-like eye for detail"" and showing ""shades of genius"" (One4Review), Rutter was also hailed as ""an act guaranteed future success"" (British Comedy Guide).After all, if nobody knows what they're doing, who's actually in charge?
