A charming mix of light and dark sketches in this original and offbeat hour. Who doesn't want sketches about hermit crabs and axolotls, pine cones, cryptic crosswords and of course end the most dramatic possible end to a picnic? Lots of fun throughout.
The planet is melting and life's spinning out of control. Can Charlie save it with a nice picnic? Sneaky salamanders, sexy fishies and passive-aggressive pinecones try to distract her attempts to put the world right. Just beware, this summer ritual might turn into a one-woman Wicker Man... Get ready for big laughs from Scottish comedian Charlie Vero-Martin (BBC Radio 4, BBC Scotland, Sketch Off finalist 2023) in her seriously joyful sketch show full of characters, puppets and surprises. 'Jam-packed with laughter... charming, hilarious and beautiful. An absolute must-see' **** (EdFestMag.com).
