About IAM
Helen Bauer returns to the Fringe to road-test a brand-new hour of stand-up comedy at Monkey Barrel 1. Still in the ideas stage, the show is a work in progress in which Bauer grapples with the subject of love — with characteristic self-awareness and irreverence. The show is performed at Monkey Barrel 1, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for those aged 16 and over. Strong language features throughout.
Why see this show?
Work-in-progress shows at the Fringe offer something you can't get anywhere else — a comedian thinking out loud, taking risks in real time. Bauer's self-deprecating take on love makes for a very entertaining test drive.
