2023 Edinburgh Fringe
Abigail Paul: Involuntary Momslaughter
All jokes. No heart! Serious fun. Listen, Abigail is fine, and doesn't want to talk about her mother anymore, but here we are. She does it for you! Oversharing is caring. Born in Panama, raised in Florida and escaped to Germany, Abigail puts the 'dis' in dysfunction. This biting dark comedy show about dealing with family members with narcissistic personality disorder takes you on a hard-to-fathom, taboo-busting journey with her unique life story. Described by audiences as 'smart, funny and real', it's a live personal essay - the The Dead Mom Ted Talk. Armchair therapists welcome.
