After a SOLD OUT run at Edinburgh fringe in 2023, Michelle Brasier (Aunty Donna, Double Denim) returns with her critically acclaimed show, Reform.
Have you ever ended up being the emergency contact for a stranger who tried to scam you out of your money? No? Michelle has.
This is a true story of an online scam, but it’s not one whereby the witty comic takes down the swindler and gives him a telling-off through the medium of jokes. Oh no. When the exercise equipment didn’t show up, Michelle didn’t call the police, instead she gave her scammer the opportunity to open up. Curious as to how a person ends up a scammer, Michelle, a stand-out archetype of the ‘caring woman’ took an active interest in Jacob who was surprised at how much he really just needed someone to talk to.
"Engagingly propulsive ... thoroughly entertaining ... dishing out gutsy optimism and faith in redemption."
"Howlingly funny, emotionally generous and, ultimately, profound... A miracle of a show."
"A sharply relevant, hysterically funny story worthy of a Netflix special.”
“A heartwarming and hilarious hour full of fantastic songs."
