The complexities of growing older affect us all: things happen, we gain more responsibilities, and things stop working like they used to.
Comedian Kelly Edgar attempts to bring back some juvenile joy that we’ve been missing while still musing on the realities of ageing. The duality of feeling like we’re past it while simultaneously trying to retain a child-like joy can be difficult – but it is never impossible.
Edgar blends both immaturity and the wisdom of age to create a show that is both hilarious and thought-provoking. After all, life can be absurd sometimes, but we can still laugh about it.
Edgar shows us how as she speaks of nostalgia and self-discovery in a way that resonates with both the young at heart and the more seasoned souls.
The continuous struggle between feeling youthful and wise comes together as a riotous spectacle that is side-splittingly funny.
Her shows have been turning heads and made Edgar a distinctive new act in the North East region in recent years.
