Nicola Macri: Single Entendre

Nicola MacriProfessional company

55 minutesFern Studio
Comedy for linguistic enthusiasts, word nerds and/or prudes. Nicola Macri adores language but is fed up with navigating a minefield of innuendo in a futile attempt to evade the spectre of sex in daily polite conversation. There are innumerable good words in this show. Here's a saucy teaser: aubergine, Rumpelstiltskin, metaphysical, trojan, masquerade and Shakespeare. ‘Intelligent without being superior – Nicola just wants to share her enthusiasm and show you the cool thing she’s found’ **** (One4Review.co.uk). 'The perfect mixture of storytelling, education and hilarious comedy... has you in grammatically correct fits of laughter' ****½ (FourthWallMedia.wordpress.com).

About Nicola Macri

Nicola Macri presents stand-up comedy aimed at linguistic enthusiasts, word nerds and the self-professed prudish. Fed up with navigating a minefield of innuendo in everyday polite conversation, she has built a show around her love of language and the many ways it leads us somewhere we'd rather not go. The show features an eclectic range of vocabulary — expect words including aubergine, Rumpelstiltskin, metaphysical, trojan, masquerade and Shakespeare — woven into intelligent, funny, enthusiastic storytelling performed at the Fern Studio.

Why see this show?

Smart, witty stand-up that finds comedy in the way language behaves rather than who it targets. If you enjoy a comedian who clearly loves words as much as she loves a good punchline, Nicola Macri delivers both with warmth and precision.
