What was your rock bottom? Divorce? Redundancy? Cancer? Sharon VS can relate. She's done it all – in the same year. And this Edinburgh regular is spilling the tea. Hilarious and poignant, Sharon turns life's curve balls into a rip-roaring rollercoaster of confessional stand-up comedy. Tinder swiping on silver foxes, bizarre start-up conferences, finding out you're queer? Should life really be this exciting in your 50s?? Sharon's debut solo show is unsparing, honest and wildly optimistic. A guide to finding more joy in life by daring to be a little more free.
