About this show
Where are all the tall grandmas? Be honest, you’ve never seen one, have you? So where the f#%k are they? Do they shrink? Die young? Are short kings eating them? In this hilariously unhinged new hour, Lou dives head first into the disappearance of tall old women everywhere. A comedic investigation into height, heritage and what it truly means to live large. 'Wall is a comedy whirlwind' (New York Times). Nominee: Most Outstanding Show, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025.

— The Student (5 out of 5 stars)
You’ll find yourself getting swept up in Wall’s discoveries and self-discovery, perhaps a bit teary-eyed, but hopeful for the future of tall grandmas. It’s not as diabolically bonkers as Wall’s previous shows.
— The Comic's Comic (4 out of 5 stars)
Where Are All the Tall Grandmas? is peak Fringe. None of it should work. But such is the geeky charm and dogged curiosity of Lou Wall that their audience is happy to follow them on the oddest of sociological…
