Google Hanna Kanon / Free FestivalAbout the show
Comfortable is a stand-up and storytelling show from Norwegian comedian Hanna Kanon, who just wants audiences to be comfortable — even if achieving that requires uncomfortable things like maintaining eye contact, making small talk or having cosmetic surgery. She has done all those things and more. The show touches on financial comfort she cannot discuss (because it makes men uncomfortable), and her habit of lying to her mother, who has Alzheimer's. Her doctor recommended against constant correction, so if her mother asks, Hanna is definitely not abroad in Edinburgh for a whole month. The show runs 60 minutes and contains segments about mental health and eating disorders.
Why see this show?
Hanna Kanon finds genuine comedy in the gap between wanting to make others comfortable and the lengths that demands of her. The mother-with-Alzheimer's thread is handled with real wit and warmth, and the show's candour about mental health makes it more than a standard stand-up hour.
