About Charis King
Wummy is a one-woman comedy play performed by Charis King, who has been featured on BBC. The show follows a broke, flat-sharing wannabe yummy mummy on a mission to manifest her dream life: a Chelsea townhouse, husband, baby, nanny and a bin hidden within a kitchen island. When the universe answers her call, the path to luxury takes an unexpected turn. Direction and dramaturgy are provided by Octavia Gilmore. The show runs for 60 minutes at Just the Tonic at The Subway, and includes audience participation.
Why see this show?
Charis King brings warmth and comic precision to a one-woman show about aspiration, self-delusion and the universe's habit of answering prayers in the most inconvenient ways. A sharply observed comedy with a performer who makes every moment land.
