Marise Gaughan: Drowning (Work in Progress)

- Just the Tonic at The Shed, Leicester
Marise Gaughan - “Original, personal and very funny”

In 2014, Marise’s father killed himself, setting off a chain reaction that began in Amsterdam and ended sharing a psych ward with Kanye West in L.A. Stand-up comedy at its darkest about destructive choices made in a mental abyss. It’s about fathers, inner darkness, and the funny stuff that can happen even as the world around you goes to shit. 


"When Gaughan interrogates her personal experiences, her scalpel sharp, dark comedy is at its best, disturbing you right out of your comfort zone”

-the arts review
