Description

Get ready for a night of side-splitting laughter, eye-covering cringing and poignant storytelling at Is This Normal?, the debut one-woman show from award-winning storyteller Ansa Edim. Often the "only one" - the only Black person, the only fat person, the only fat Black person - Ansa navigates the dating space with humour and resilience. Determined to represent women like her as more than just the fat, funny friend (though she is that too), Ansa's unique voice and relatable tales make this show a must-see for anyone questioning what 'normal' is for them.

Bold, cheerful, charming, compelling and utterly entertaining, Ansa Edim goes into the dark and luminous places of her dating life and makes sense of the most abysmal and comical encounters, always choosing joy and agency. 5 stars definitely.
