Louise Leigh gets plenty of comic mileage out of being middle-aged. Routines on the menopause, open water swimming and dog walking are amongst the highlights.
'Hilarious' **** (TheWeeReview.com). 'Brilliant' (Scotsman). 'Go see this show' **** (FunnyWomen.com). How do you want to be remembered when you die? Taxidermied in a gastropub, of course! Also covered: raising teenagers among llamas; which are the most boring nipples; why the menopause is a cross between the climate crisis and World War 1; and biscuits. There's always biscuits. Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Finalist, Funny Women Semi-finalist, British Comedian of the Year Semi-finalist. 'Great performance, great confidence, great jokes' (Gary Delaney). Viewers may become fiercely aroused.
