2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Laura Lexx: Knee Jerk
Star of Live At The Apollo, Laura Lexx is a 'bouncy, bubbly stand up star' (Telegraph) shining a hilarious light on how hard it is to be a good person these days. Can you change the world without offending anyone? Her sell-out 2018 show Trying was 'a masterpiece' ***** (VoiceMag.uk) and earned her a prestigious Comedian's Choice Award. Now, Lexx takes on society's big issues... but come for jokes, not answers. It's sure to be 'stomach-achingly funny' **** (Entertainment-Focus.com) and 'another skilfully-constructed hour from an underrated performer' **** (Fest). Early booking recommended.
