A new show from your favourite (she hopes?!) London-based, 6’3 Canadian, existential, green-haired, silly, spooky, formerly imaginary, formerly cursed, alternative comedian. 'Funny and insightful, she is one to keep an eye on as she inevitably rises through the comedy scene' (The Only Culture Vulture, Facebook). '… her slightly chaotic nature and gimmicks made it feel like I was down the pub with a friend telling me some stories' (CarlyMay.co.uk). 'Your brain genuinely can’t predict the twists and turns in the punchlines she crafts' (BlizzardComedy.co.uk).
