Edinburgh Fringe
Kirsty Mann: Skeletons
Kirsty Mann delivers a fast-paced autobiographical monologue in which she explains how - until now - she's managed to hide the fact she's a doctor from the comedy world and, likewise, conceal her funny side from NHS colleagues. It's a great tale, full of jokes, and Mann's acting skills are showcased nicely when she portrays the other people in her story.
Kirsty Mann (Funny Women Awards finalist) has a secret, and this is a confession: she's a doctor. But please don't tell anyone, she wants people to take her seriously as a comedian. A ridiculous true story of subterfuge from award-winning writer, 'smart character comic' (Scotsman) and 'wo-mann of many talents' (NotTheFrontRow.com). 'Excellent' (Metro). 'Phenomenal character work' (Entertainment-Now.com). 'Grabs the gig by the funny bits' (Scotsman). 'If you're looking for a pick-me-up, this is the show for you' (NotTheFrontRow.com).
