About Vida Slayman
The Nutella Wars is Vida Slayman's third solo show, performed at Hollywood as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Drawing on her own experience as an immigrant child, Vida tells stories about growing up in a household where Nutella was kept hidden — not just a treat but a symbol of the gap between immigrants and the rich kids who could afford it. The show weaves in stories of growing up in war, moving to Australia, and features a beat-up station wagon named Bertha. Running 50 minutes, rated 14+, with no content warnings.
Why see this show?
Vida Slayman turns childhood deprivation and immigrant experience into genuinely funny storytelling — Nutella as a symbol, a beat-up station wagon named Bertha, and stories about growing up in war told with warmth and humour.
