About Laura Lexx
Laura Lexx returns to Edinburgh with a brand new work-in-progress stand-up show. Fresh from her show Slinky — which won Best Show at the Women in Comedy Festival and received two international debut nominations at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival — Lexx now turns her attention to marriage. In a ten-year marriage, eventually your partner sees it all: every bad idea, every silly decision, every unfiltered thought. Somehow, they still say they love you. The show runs for 60 minutes at Basement and is suitable for audiences aged 18 and over. Tickets are £12.
Why see this show?
A comedian at the top of her game testing new material in the room where ideas still breathe. The subject — what it means to be truly known by another person — is universal, but Lexx's angle on it is her own.
