Twayna Mayne is a strong black woman with an extraordinary back story. In her highly anticipated debut hour, join this truly unique rising star as she guides us through a lifetime of labels and contradiction. Expect sharp insights and a totally fresh perspective. Having been marked out by Time Out as a 'star of the future', Twayna Mayne is a refreshingly original new comic voice and most definitely one to watch. Leicester Mercury Nominee 2016. 'Superb deadpan wit' (Time Out). 'A stand-out act with bags of potential' (Stage). 'A delightfully downbeat stand up' (Chortle.co.uk).
