Bridget Christie + Support Andrew O'Neill
The Subscription Rooms, Stroud
Comedian and actress Bridget Christie has strong Gloucestershire / NeoAncient connections, not only was she born in Gloucester, but she filmed her recent hit menopausal comedy, The Change, in the Forest, pulling in winning performances from Friday night’s Weird Walkers and local legends Boss Morris. Plus she writes for Weird Walk. Tonight though she will concentrate on being funny…
Bridget Christie is hot, but not in a good way. The 51 year old critically-acclaimed stand-up leaks blood, sweats, and thinks that Chris Rock is the same person as The Rock. The Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award winning comedian cannot ride the motorbike she bought to combat her mid-life crisis because of early osteoarthritis in her hips and RSI in her wrist; and wonders why there are so many films, made by men, about young women discovering their sexuality, but none about middle-aged women forgetting theirs. It’s a menopause laugh-a-minute with a confused, furious, sweaty lady who is annoyed by everything.
Support comes from psychedelic non-binary whirlwind Andrew O'Neill, combining surrealism, polemic and stage-craft in a uniquely counter-cultural stand-up.
