About Louise O'Toole
Auntie-Hero is a stand-up show by Louise O'Toole at Hoot 5. Louise is a single pringle in the post-Tinder world who is starting to worry that she has more in common with her friends' 10-year-olds than with their parents. While her friends juggle careers with childcare on no sleep, she is struggling to get Olivia Rodrigo tickets after sleeping in. The show asks whether she is the problem, and whether she can become the Auntie-Hero of her own life. Running 50 minutes, it is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Tickets are £7 with a concession of £5.
Why see this show?
Louise O'Toole has a very specific comic premise — the gap between the life you expected and the one you're living — told with enough self-awareness to make it warm rather than wretched. At 50 minutes and £7, it is an easy Fringe bet.
