Geraldine Hickey: A Weight Off My Chest is a stand-up comedy show by Token Events and Fine & Dandy Productions, performed at Studio Four at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In her own words, Geraldine had breast reduction surgery — but they took them all. They were big and heavy, and she wanted it to be easier to find clothes that would fit. She wanted to be ready to evacuate in the middle of the night without getting stuck in a bra strap, and to believe in the possibility of doing a handstand without hitting herself in the face. The show runs for 60 minutes, tickets start from £9, and the age guidance is 16+.
Why see this show?
Geraldine Hickey turns a very personal subject into a funny, warm and surprisingly universal show about bodies, practicality and freedom. Plainspoken, honest comedy with a lot of heart behind the laughs.
