Edinburgh Fringe
Ange Lavoipierre: Your Mother Chucks Rocks and Shells
An absurd sketch show where it's always 2am, set in the liminal space between screen-lit insomnia and bad dreams. We'll try every trick in the book to escape the hell of consciousness. Sleep podcasts. Revisiting our least favourite memories. Watching The Exorcist. Will it be fine? No, stop asking. Ange Lavoipierre is an award-winning comedian. She's a regular on the Australian and UK comedy festival circuit, and had a sold-out Edinburgh Fringe with her last show I've Got 99 Problems And Here Is An Exhaustive List Of Them.
