About this show

Aalex ('a charming humility that brings the audience together in laughter' , The Student) is overwhelmed and she's not afraid to show it. In this show, she unpacks the elaborate (and often ridiculous) lengths she's gone to in pursuit of clarity. Expect an abundance of misunderstandings, a rap about questionable life choices, and a whirlwind of overcomplication that somehow lands right here.

  • 3.5 stars Aalex Mandel-Dallal is a bundle of chaotic energy who exudes warmth and friendliness. She makes a big entrance, happily avoiding taking out herself or anyone else, and her enthusiasm immediately disposes us…

    One4Review

  • Overall, Mandel-Dellal presents a very personal, and also personable offering to the Fringe. It’s story telling with great tenderness and sincerity, all punctuated by humour and silliness.
