About Delaney Conway
Semi-Automatic SmokeShow is a one-woman dark comedy written and performed by Delaney Conway at Lime Studio. An influencer has been selected by new tech oligarchs to sell propaganda — dressed up as beauty products — via live stream. The show combines clowning, choreography, horror and humour to imagine what the description calls an unhinged American landscape. It runs for 50 minutes, is priced at £12 and is aimed at audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Conway's one-woman show fuses clowning, choreography and horror to skewer the intersection of beauty culture, tech power and propaganda. Satirical, physical and darkly funny, it is a distinct blend of styles.
