In her second solo show, Suchandrika (Writer for BBC One's Have I Got News For You and Radio 4; Funny Women 'One To Watch') tries to explain our chronically-online era to her niece (5), and speculates about the future (because no one can say she's wrong). Sold out at VAULT Festival. Praise for previous work: 'An utter joy' (Guardian), 'Leaves you with a smile on your face' **** (Theatre and Other Things LDN), 'Comes across as warm and wholesome, contrasting with some of her sneakily dark and political humour' (BingeFringe.com). As seen on NextUp Comedy.

EdFringe Talk: Suchandrika Chakrabarti: Doomscrolling
