Following its world premiere at Edinburgh Fringe, Alison Larkin brings her funny, life-affirming show about love, loss and hope to Soho Theatre.
Alison Larkin is hugely entertaining… marvellously light-footed
Times

The English-American writer/comedian returns to the UK with the world premiere of her funny, life-affirming show about love, loss and hope. Alison found true love for the first time in her 50s with an Indian climate scientist who had also immigrated to the US. Then he died. Then something wildly unexpected happened. When Archbishop Desmond Tutu found out about it, he insisted she write this show “because it will bring hope.”

Music by Gary Schreiner.

 

A limited number of advance reader copies of Alison’s brand new book Grief… A Comedy will be available after the show exclusively for audience members. For more details, click here.
