Description
This is Temi’s show. It’s all about her. Not you. Her. Temi got veeeery good at being everybody’s sassy best friend. Growing up a black girl in a white world shunts you into playing a side character in your own life. But now she’s stepping into her Main Character Energy and it’s your privilege and pleasure to give her all the attention she deserves. As self-aware as it is self-indulgent, this show is a high-energy cocktail of comedy, audience interaction and cabaret. An excuse to show Edinburgh how radiant Temi is.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Wow! Temi rocked my world, and made Leo season complete with this gorgeous, beautiful, hilarious, introspective show.

Absolutely hilarious and meaningful. I think it is a stroke of genius that this is a hilarious show you'll love even if you understand none of the thematic content, but if you make the effort to engage with it on a deeper level, it's so powerful too. Stunning!
