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.
