More details

Do you ever feel as though you were promised more from life? I mean, sure, your flat's great, but it's no castle. And your boyfriend's lovely, but he's hardly a handsome prince, is he? Did you notice that your childminders never sang, and never looked like Julie Andrews? And have you spent so much time talking to animals that you think you might need urgent medical attention?!
Thanks to Walt Disney, Rebecca Humphries has been plagued by all these doubts and worries.

All her life she's seen Disney movies as close friends, confidantes, and role models. Yes, they had their faults; they were always a bit conformist, a bit anti-feminist, a bit, well...racist. But Rebecca was blind to these weaknesses, spellbound by the stardust. Only now is she beginning to accept that Disney is not all fairy godmothers, dashing princes and flying carpets.

With live accompaniment, Rebecca Humphries takes on her cartoon-induced complex through the medium of sketch, stand up and song. She tackles some familiar tunes with a twist, as well as completely original numbers, and invites audiences to consider these privileged princesses, misunderstood villains, and, frankly, questionable moral messages that Disney have been dishing out for generations.

Rebecca trained at LAMDA and more recently Chicago's prestigious Second City. She is perhaps best known for her starring role alongside The Inbetweeners star Blake Harrison in Comedy Central's Big Bad World. Her other TV appearances have included series 1 of Cardinal Burns, Come Fly With Me, and Seann Walsh World. She is currently filming the new Big Talk series for ITV2, Cockroaches, written by Freddy Syborn (Bad Education), in which she appears alongside Jack Whitehall.

As a stage actress, Rebecca has performed at the National Theatre (The Kitchen), The Old Vic (24 Hour Plays) and the Royal Court (Open Court: Primetime), as well as playing Sally Bowles in the critically acclaimed I Am a Camera at Southwark Playhouse.

Dizney Rascal is her debut hour of live comedy.
