Edinburgh Fringe
Laura Davis: Well Don't Just Stand There Dancing
Swirling unpredictable Australian storytelling that feels both world building and world skewing. Grief, denial and spiders... the jokes are embedded in like coins in an Xmas pud. A must see.
Cult comedy favourite Laura Davis brings a new show about parties, spiders, and the spectre of fascism which stalks us all. Nominated Most Outstanding Show, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023. 'Bold, ambitious, and also very funny' **** (Chortle.co.uk), Laura's deft writing, unique performance style, and sharp wit promise 'laughter which takes power away from the darkness' **** (Time Out). 'The laughs are loud and don't let up' **** (Skinny). 'Exciting, urgent and relevant' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Laura Davis is IT and more' **** (Time Out)
