Chortle's Top 10 Memorable Shows of 2021
“Stand up’s confessional, right?"
Standup is the outlet that keeps you sane. The nature of the game is to turn everything into punchlines. But can you do it if you feel all-consuming sadness?
**** - Daily Mail “Put this moving comedy at the top of your must see list”
**** - Chortle "quietly profound...warmly witty...spellbinding"
**** - The Wee Review "brimming with authenticity...a marvellous one woman show"
**** - British Theatre Guide "devastatingly funny as well as genuinely insightful"
**** - Fringe Biscuit “Authentic, hilarious, three-dimensional comedy”
**** - Voice Mag "an ambitious format that channels artistic spirit and unflinching vulnerability."
*** - The Stage "smartly straddles the boundary between seriousness and silliness throughout."
*** - The List "Ellipsis still makes use of Farah's many talents to shine through the murky lens of grief."
Fringe Review "Farah is funny. She is also a highly engaging performer."
The Telegraph "Promising newcomer"
“In some ways I wanted my therapist to watch me so he can see how FUCKING HILARIOUS I AM and in others I thought how odd it would be performing to someone who’s seen so far behind my mask. Would he even find it funny or just sit there knowing what I was hiding?”
Ellipsis explores how to deal with grief, be authentic, and still be funny.
For reference, I did invite left wing newspapers to review it but they declined to come. It's disappointing to me too.
The DM did call me a woke millennial though, so I'll take the wins where they come...
