About Avalon
Avalon presents Cecily Hitchcock's debut stand-up hour at the Cellar. The show takes a nostalgic dive into the noughties Britain she grew up in, opening a book of disgusting yet comforting family recipes for the Fringe. Born into the wobbling promise of the new millennium, she grew up in a new-build town that multiplies overnight, terrorised by an evil swan, raised by oddball parents, with Blair and Brown playing in her child mind like a Greek tragedy. It is offbeat, high-energy, and culminates in the crash of the year she was a child. Running 60 minutes, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A debut hour with an unusually strong sense of place and era — the new-build town, the evil swan and the Greek tragedy of Blair and Brown are details that make a generation feel genuinely seen. Hitchcock arrives with a real voice.
