60 minutesBothie
Courtney's bringing back the traditional art of storytelling. By that we mean... she's oversharing. A deeply personal, joyfully chaotic, and genuinely funny hour about love, honesty, and the emotional gymnastics of trying to be a likeable person. Big, If True explores the currency of oversharing, the lies we tell ourselves, and the stories we tell each other. Expect South African family drama, queer revelations, a lot of salt, some goldfish and a side of One Direction. 'Would charm even the grumpiest of punters' **** (Broadway Baby).
