Laura Davis: Despair Is Beneath Us
Multi award-winning, Internationally acclaimed cult-favourite Laura Davis presents their latest work-in-progress show. Follow Laura's rapid-fire stand-up through society, politics, existentialism and probably dogs. All your standard stuff. Deft, refreshing and hilarious, this hour is ‘fizzing with intelligence and humanity’ (Chortle)
'Davis is something of a wild card, with a brand of humour hard to define but easy to like.' The List
'Davis’ skill at weaving a story you didn’t know you were being told is unveiled... remarkable and gratifying in equal measure.' The Age
‘Impossible not to laugh.’ The Herald
