About this show
Anja Atkinson, a stand up from Sunderland, with a filthy little glint in her eye (there’s barely any eye for all the filth) and a knack for turning everyday chaos into something truly daft. Crowned as 'deliciously devilish' (NARC Magazine) with 'brutal honesty and strong punchlines', whilst 'swerving between the everyday and the absurd' (One4Review.co.uk). Come and watch as this scatter-brained stand-up works through her mental health and her new material in an all new Work In Progress show about losing your mind and trying to find where you last put it again.
