Lizzie Simpson: Should Statements - A Show Brought To You By (a Little) Inherited Wealth

1000 Trades Jewellery Quarter, 16 Frederick St, Birmingham B1 3HE
Tickets: PWYW
Time: 7pm

BCF Event

In 2023, like a Dickensian protagonist, BBC Comedy Award-shortlisted comedian Lizzie Simpson lost her beloved uncle aged 69 to ass cancer. Leaving behind paper towels, many a spicy VHS and a flat on the outskirts of the capital, Lizzie found herself with £20,000 and a dream. SHOULD she invest in her future?

Absolutely not! A fringe show it is!

After years of toiling the London open mic scene, finally with the means to bring her vision to the unsuspecting public, this chronic oversharer with a dry yet likeable edge asks whether her uncle's retirement fund is being put to good use.

Exploring heritage, Catholic guilt (without the Catholicism), body issues and butt stuff, this West End New Act Finalist 2024 and 2x Leicester Square Semi-Finalist will make you think, laugh and shit your pants while supported by a special guest.
