Lucy McCormick returns with a medium-concept queer cabaret spectacular exploring loneliness, labour and the desperate performance of connection. Presented as a stripped-back variety show, Lucy calls on the audience to become her missing friends, stepping into roles she cannot fill alone. As the show spirals through increasingly chaotic attempts at community-building, Lucy uses cabaret to unravel ideas of narcissism, celebrity and the unhinged woman. A master of theatrical manipulation and crushing personal vulnerability, she leaves audiences needing a hug, a cry and an immediate shower. This will be a special stripped-back version of the hit Fringe show.
