TOUR 2018
Squeezing in between the cracks of comedy in 2018.
A guided tour behind the curtain, through the backstage, and into the gaping void of a comedian’s mind. Lauren Bok and her physicality bring to life the rollercoaster of struggles, triumphs, doubt and heartbreak that you never see or hear about and spins it into mime, audience interaction, storytelling and stand-up that makes for a relatable, accessible and hilariously compelling hour of ultra-meta comedy.
oh hai come say hai why not
