A critically acclaimed hour of hilarious original songs, killer stand-up, and a big book of things that are actually good.
‘Actually, Good is actually rather wonderful’
★★★★★ Scotsman

In 2022, she started asking people what they like. The answers were simple and complex, hilarious and beautiful. Cloves. Fancy hotel foyers. Seeing a cow and yelling, “Cow!”.

This is a show about the little things that make the big hard things manageable, and pointing at the bits of the world that make you yell, “Wow! Isn’t this great?!”.
