Vyse is back with an extraordinary look at her battle with breast cancer. 'But then, as comedians go, Beth doesn't have much time for the expected' (Guardian). Barry Awards Best Show nomination. Hear the tale of her Stoke-on-Trent family, her time with Nelson Mandela, acting and thieving at the Royal Shakespeare Company, settling down with Michael Jackson and finding cancer. And all before the age of 30! 'She has the verve, the charisma and the honesty to get the job done' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Visionary piece of genre-fusing theatre on surviving cancer' **** (Stage).

Rosie Gillott, Fresh Air, 8th August 2016Seven questions with... Beth Vyse
Beth Vyse is a stand up and character comedian who returns to the Edinburgh Festival this year with her 2015 solo hour, As Funny As Cancer; a refreshingly personal show in which the comic details her experience with breast cancer, embellishing with her trademark surreal humour. And Vyse's absurdist roots are never far from the surface, with her character Olive Hands making an appearance in another show: All Hands To The Pump.
