About Queenie Miller
Marise Gaughan: A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again is a stand-up show at Hive 2, presented by Queenie Miller. Marise Gaughan debuts a story about addiction — but not the serious TED-Talk kind. Expect sex (with old dudes for money), rehab (with a lad addicted to Rolexes) and dating a surf instructor. It is a sharp, darkly hilarious take on self-destruction, life lessons and potatoes, based on her debut memoir Trouble, described as outstanding by the Business Post. The show runs 55 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets are £8 with a concession of £7.
Why see this show?
Marise Gaughan takes the memoir format and strips out the self-seriousness — this is addiction as dark comedy, with specific, strange detail that makes it feel genuinely lived in. Based on her debut book Trouble, it promises stories that are funnier than they have any right to be.
