Ever wondered how to survive life’s messy, awkward and chaotic moments with your sanity (mostly) intact? Comedian Thao Cao has been there – surviving near-death experiences, racism on public transport and endless teasing about her Vietnamese name – and now she can laugh about it... and so can you. Full of bold, personal and witty humour, this show will make you laugh, cringe and maybe even see life from a whole new perspective. 'Laugh out loud fun' (BuxtonFringe.org.uk). 'The audience are enraptured' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Stand-up comedy at its very best' (TheUpsideNews.com).
