About IAM
Em Humble, a BAFTA-longlisted comedian, presents her debut character comedy show at Below. Lady of the Lakes is a fantastically surreal procession of Arthurian-inspired freaks — wizards, goblins, and urchins — set in a time of myth and sorcery. The show asks who the fickle finger of fate will choose to emerge victorious and wield the legendary Excalibur sword. Running for 55 minutes, the show is for ages 16+ and contains audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
