2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Lauren Pattison: It Is What It Is
Lauren Pattison had the room rocking with laughter, as she relayed her story of the last few years. Delivering pithy punchlines with pitch perfect comic timing, her new show is an absolute triumph.
Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee Lauren is back with a brand-new show. She is reluctant to say what it is about because if the last year has taught her anything, it's life can change fast... it is what it is. Let's just say sometimes you need to fall apart to rebuild into exactly who you were meant to be. As seen on Comedy Central at the Comedy Store, Roast Battle and supporting Katherine Ryan's tour. 'Razor wit and brutal honesty' ***** (List). 'A breath of feisty fresh air' ***** (Herald).
