Description

Yvonne is the only female comedian in the UK with an inherited genetic disease* – and a walking miracle. Having been given a second chance at life due to life-saving medicines, she now ponders who she is. From barely surviving life to thriving in her 50s, it's correct to call her absolutely riddled**. Most of all, the show is a love letter to Yvonne's unwavering parents – which takes a bit of a song to get right. And will there be a wedding? Well, miracles do happen. *Unverified **Not a show about having an STI.

Yvonne is warm, friendly and very funny! The show was the perfect blend of humour wrapped in with developing awareness around what it means to live with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. Passionate and poignant. A must see!
