Winner of Melbourne International Comedy Festival Awards, Sydney Comedy Festival Directors Prize and nominated for Edinburgh Fringe Total Theatre Award; Amelia Jane Hunter returns with a show about the joys of distorting, corrupting and compassion.

"On stage she is a force of nature: aggressive, confident, in your face and opinionated. She prowls the stage like a caged animal as she tells her tales of a world that restricts such a free spirit. It’s wonderful to witness her storytelling in person: describing the scene in deep detail and using poetic language so that all are rapt, only for her to floor us with a hysterical and biting comment as a punchline. It’s akin to snarky foot- notes scrawled in the margins of a classy novella" - Squirrel Comedy Australia

"What, after all, can a highly intelligent woman who hasn't got herself married off with children by her forties, say for herself? Well, a life of adventure in the dungeons of Berlin seems a very fine alternative for me" - NZ Theatre Review

"Deliciously cynical, lyrically explicit and very, very funny. She’s Samantha from Sex and the City with the vocabulary of Stephen Fry" - Chortle

"A stunning performer with presence and panache, a vulnerable, revelatory performance at its centre" - Time Out UK
