About Anja Schwarzbauer
The End is a one-woman comedy written, directed, and performed by Anja Schwarzbauer, about a college student who reaches her limit. Honest, sardonic, and hopeful, the show follows Anja's semester studying in Dublin — navigating an identity crisis and a mother's relapse. The show blends comedy, theatre, and music, and is described as an eccentric coming-of-age piece built around the realisation that anything can be funny, even the hardest things.
Why see this show?
A show about a student in crisis that refuses to be either bleak or falsely uplifting — Anja Schwarzbauer writes and performs her own material with real comic and emotional range. Personal, genre-mixing, and sharp.
