2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Laura Davis: If This Is It
The Aussie comic is on blistering form here, kicking off locked down in New Zealand then shifting gears to get furious about what on earth is going on everywhere else.
Most Outstanding Show nominee at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2022. Laura Davis is internationally acclaimed as one of the strongest, most distinctive comedy voices around. Bold, hilarious and razor sharp, Davis delivers extraordinary stand-up that subverts expectation at every turn. 'This is laughter that takes power away from the darkness... **** (Time Out on If This is It). 'Decidedly defiant and damn funny' **** (Age on If This Is It). 'Bold and ambitious and very funny...' **** (Chortle.co.uk on If This Is It). 'Genuinely brilliant stand-up' (Comedy.co.uk, Recommended Shows 2019). 'Indescribable' **** (Fest).
