Grappling with what it means to be a woman in comedy in a post #metoo world, and the inherit misogyny of the comedy industry, this is a delightful comedy special from Scottish comic Eleanor Morton. The show is clever social commentary revolving around Eleanor’s confident American alter ego, and the reality of what it means to inhabit the real world and confront double standards in the comedy industry as her real, Scottish self. Eleanor has performed at The Fringe 6 times, and her 2014 show Lollipop was nominated for a Scottish Comedy Award for Best Show.
