About this show
Lulu tries out some brand-new jokes for one week only – come and laugh while she talks about eggs, death & misc. Possibly with a piano, definitely with the dog. 'Biting wit and playful punchlines' (Comedy.co.uk). 'Sharp, unexpected jokes. A strong all-rounder' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Incredibly entertaining confessional comedy' (LifeIsAFestival.wordpress.com). 'The poor woman's been through enough' (Chortle.co.uk). The Times Best Jokes of the Fringe 2025. Cheap! Fun! Themes potentially too dark for a lunchtime show oops!
