Description

Amy spins a sparkling web of comedy magic between the two states she finds herself caught between – stability and restlessness. She swings between the unbridled joy in the freedom that everything can change and the crawling anxiety that nothing is certain. This is a show about the thrill of falling and the thud of landing. And after a thud comes a laugh. 'Drily funny and giddily quirky' (Scotsman). 'You'd think she'd been doing this for decades' (BroadwayBaby.com). Tour support for Alfie Brown, Jess Fostekew and Rachel Fairburn.

Terrific hour, packed with humour and wonderful storytelling. Loved the dramatic flashbacks to uncomfortable conversations with a friend and her “normal” kids, so original, not seen anything like this in standup before. Well worth the full ticket price.

Her show last year was already among my favourite but DAMN did she step up her game! A warm, funny, and clever show on all things ✨life✨; the good, the bad, and the ugly. So well produced, incredible!

Get tickets to see her now! Not just because you will have a fantastic time, but also that you can smugly say you already saw her at the Fringe 2023 when she inevitably ends up being BIG!

Saw her show recommended by Rolling Stone and she did not disappoint. A very well polished high energy comedy set that keeps you onboard the whole time. The whole set has incredibly tight punchlines and strikes a good balance between being relatable and darker (but still relatable) themes.

With I Feel Like I'm Made of Spiders Amy Matthews shows true growth, not just as a comedian but as a human being, presenting a deeply personal period in her life and using it for both laughs and therapy.

Broadway Baby (5/5 stars) 43 days ago

I Feel Like I’m Made of Spiders is a very vulnerable, honest and personal hour of comedy, where Matthews shares the details of a low point of her life, but adds levity at every point with her almost Shakespearean asides, creating a very enjoyable and funny comedy hour that should be on everyone’s Fringe list.
